2016款凯迪拉克ATS-V轿跑车的开发已经进入最后阶段,车厂已经在美国和德国对该车进行了多次从测试。从测试照片看，该车虽然整体造型顺滑，但仍不失运动风格，外装更符合空气动力学原理。更重要的是，它的动力系统将获得大幅升级，足以和德系运动车媲美。很显然，车厂并不愿人们看到新车细节，因此进行了重度伪装，但仍可看出这辆造型流畅的轿跑车的一些“凶悍”之处，包括硕大的前格栅和粗壮保险杠下面的宽大进气口，侧面可以看到更宽的侧裙，隐藏在轮圈内的升级制动系统，车尾四个圆形排气尾管，这一切都表明这是一款功率强劲，性能突出的V系列运动轿跑车。谈到动力系统，该车据传将搭载425制动马力3.6升V6双涡轮增压或373千瓦/500制动马力3.2升V6引擎，甚至还有传言称凯迪拉克还准备推出一款更发烧的“Plus”版本，功率将超过500制动马力。无论该车搭载何种引擎，都将标配七速手动并可选装八速自动变速器。2016款ATS-V轿车和轿跑车将于明年发布。

 

Cadillac ATS-V Coupe spied up close

The 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe has returned in a fresh batch of up-close spy shots.

 

Cadillac is putting the finishing touches on the ATS-V Coupe and Sedan as numerous prototypes have been spied testing at home in United States but also in Germany around the Nürburgring. Seen here is the sleeker coupe variant still wearing an extensive amount of camouflage to hide the aggressive design which will incorporate a brand new menacing front grille as well as beefier bumpers and a large rear spoiler. Also on the menu are wider side skirts together with a four exhaust pipe setup, an uprated braking system and a stiffer sports suspension arrangement.

 

There's still no confirmation as far as the engine is concerned as both ATS-V models could feature either a 425 bhp twin-turbo V6 3.6-liter or a V6 3.2 with as much as 500 bhp (373 kW). Also rumored is a higher-end "Plus" model with a V8 engine packing in excess of 500 bhp. Regardless of the engine which will end up powering the ATS-V, it will likely work with a 7-speed manual gearbox and an optional 8-speed auto.

 

Both the Cadillac ATS-V Sedan and Coupe will be introduced sometime next year, possibly as 2016MY.
