2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe Roasts Tires in Teaser
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
The 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe is ready to debut next week in Los Angeles, but not before doing a serious burnout.
Spy photos of the car uncovered during a photo shoot already gave away its more aggressive styling cues, but that isn’t stopping Cadillac from going through the typical pre-show teaser sequence. The clip Cadillac published on its official YouTube channel shows a close cropped shot of the left rear tire as the car does a big burnout before taking off in a cloud of smoke.
The ATS-V will be powered by the same 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that also powers the CTS Vsport and XTS Vsport, but it isn’t clear if Cadillac plans to make any changes to the engine to alter its output. In the CTS Vsport it makes 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.
In the clip, you also see that the rear brake rotors aren’t drilled or slotted and that the car will be offered with black wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tired that are 275 millimeters wide at the rear, which is the same width as the 2015 BMW M4.
