Cadillac ATS-V+ Is Not In The Pipeline, Says Cadillac - GM Authority (blog)
The ATS-V we have today is supremely capable—so much so that it’s unlikely to receive a larger, or different engine in the foreseeable future. One is smaller, a little more approachable (relatively speaking) with the most powerful V6, the Cadillac Twin Turbo. And its big brother coming later this summer with a supercharged V8 with authoritative power. The only thing that doesn’t lineup with what Caldwell has to say is it absolutely rings opposite of what Cadillac chief engineer, David Leone, had to say in regards to an ATS-V+. “We might have something down the road that is a little bit more aggressive,” said Leone when speaking to Car and Driver on the idea of a Cadillac ATS-V branded Black Series rival. Cadillac has also gone on the record stating the V-series portfolio will grow over time. Is this idea dead-on-arrival, or Cadillac’s worst kept secret. Also it seems GM Is going to unnatural aspirated engines for their super performance cars. Even though the 7. 0 is one if the greatest engines made it looks like a step sideways rather then forward with all the talk about cadillac having exclusive engines. Source: gmauthority.com
