Cadillac CTS Coupe – Luxury at its finest

The 2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe is an attractive luxury two-door with smooth, sleek lines that are accentuated by auto-touch door handles. Fitted with a standard 3.6-liter DOHC V6 direct injection engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, it is a mixture of power and comfort. The standard CTS Coupe model produces 318 horsepower at 6800 rpm with 275 ft-lbs of torque at 4900 rpm. It runs on regular unleaded gasoline, and it offers reasonable fuel economy numbers of 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 mpg on the open highway. With an 18-gallon gas tank as standard, these figures produce a driving range of 314 miles in city travel, or up to 486 miles on the open road.

A smooth ride in the CTS Coupe is ensured by the Nurburgring tested and tuned suspension system, which also aids in precision handling. With a tight turning circle of 35.4 feet, it is a nimble vehicle for its size. It is available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options, and all models come with an ultrasonic rear park assist, 4-wheel ABS, stability control and traction control.

The 2013 Cadillac ATS arrives at Detroit

DETROIT — Cadillac’s new 3 Series fighter, the 2013 ATS sedan, goes on sale this summer as the smallest, lightest model the brand has sold in years.

Just 0.3 inch longer than a 3 Series, the ATS is built on a new corporate architecture — GM insiders call it Alpha — that supports rear- and all-wheel drive (the ATS can be equipped with either) and is likely to spin off additional variants, including a coupe and a wagon.

The ATS is a Cadillac that’s been designed and outfitted to tackle luxury compacts in global markets. Toward that end, General Motors has built and tuned this new five-passenger sedan to meet world-class standards.

The chassis employs a five-link rear and front struts, with ZF variable-assist electric power steering and four-wheel disc brakes (Brembos on the upmarket trim levels). Wheel sizes include 17 and 18 inches, with 225/35ZR19 run-flat all-season tires as the top choice.

2013 Cadillac ATS Heading to the for 2012 Detroit Auto Show

DETROIT — General Motors confirmed on Friday that the 2013 Cadillac ATS will make its world premiere in January at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.

The Detroit automaker said it is targeting the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 with the ATS.

“ATS is a crucial part of Cadillac’s expansion,” said Mary Barra, GM senior vice president of global product development, in a speech to the Automotive Press Association. “ATS enters the biggest market segment in the global luxury car industry, both in terms of volume and importance.”

It said the debut of the ATS will be one of four GM concept or production vehicles making world premieres at the show. The other three vehicles have not been identified.

The ATS goes into production next summer at the Lansing, Michigan Grand River Assembly plant.

The new entry will be the smallest Cadillac since the Cimmaron, a knockoff of the Chevrolet Cavalier subcompact that was sold by GM from 1982-’88.

Eventually, the ATS range is expected to include a coupe and a convertible, possibly a small wagon and at least one V-Series performance variant by 2015.

The ATS is intended to woo younger import owners.

2013 Cadillac ATS at the ‘Ring

NURBURG, Germany — Nearly a year ahead of its scheduled production startup, a prototype of the 2013 Cadillac ATS has been negotiating the nooks and crannies of Germany’s Nurburgring — and we’ve got official teaser photos and video to prove it.

The ATS, you may recall, is the all-new compact luxury sport sedan with which Cadillac hopes to launch its first serious challenge to the BMW 3 Series, the sector’s long-running champ.

Cadillac engineers took the ATS prototype to the ‘Ring for two weeks in mid-September. The brand has already posted a mostly blacked-out teaser shot of the car on its Facebook page, where Cadillac says it is launching a “behind-the-scenes Web series” on the ATS, as well as photos, stories, specs and more.

The ATS is being developed on the new Alpha rear-wheel-drive architecture that borrows heavily from the underpinnings of the larger CTS and is expected to be used by other GM divisions besides Cadillac. Continue reading for the full video!

Cadillac ATS to get 270HP 4 Cylinder?

Debuting back in 2006, General Motors first became famous for the 2.0-liter displacement with the coveted LNF. The Ecotec four-cylinder was quickly made famous for its 260 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. Since then the 2.0-liter has been a hot topic in regards to GM applications, but GM Inside News hears it’s about to get hotter with the launch of an all-new 2.0-liter turbo.

Today the LNF is no longer being utilized in any vehicles, however a variation of the engine is still in production for the Buick Regal Turbo and Regal GS in North America, and the Opel Insignia in Europe. The 2.0-liter mill in all three applications wears the name LHU.

In the Regal Turbo and Insignia the engine generates a modest 220 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque, while the high-output Regal GS generates 270 horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque.
