Last month was a particularly exciting moment for General Motors and Cadillac alike. At the official 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, we were all anxiously awaiting the reveal of the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V coupe, and its cousins, the ATS-V sedan and the ATS-V.R racer. With much anticipation, we have waited with only teaser videos and speculation images to keep us going. But the Cadillac did not disappoint.
Originally when the ATS was launched in 2013, it was geared to compete with the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4. When the coupe body style was developed, it was a perfect competitor for the BMW 4 Series. Now that the ATS iix following in the footsteps of its older brother, the CTS, and getting the V treatment, it will be a huge competitor to the BMW M4 and the Audi RS5. Some are calling the ATS-V the new German kryptonite.
Check out some gorgeous photos of the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V coupe:

- Almost every exterior panel on the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V coupe is unique, from the fascias and fenders, to the hood, rear spoiler and rocker moldings – and every one was designed to support the car’s capability. A lightweight carbon fiber hood, front and fascia designed with larger grille openings to feed more air to the new twin-turbocharged engine. Even the mesh pattern of the signature grille openings is enlarged to allow more air into the radiator and multiple heat exchangers.
