This ATS Coupe joins from next autumn its sedan brother on the Dutch roads. The car must be the fight against European premium brands that Cadillac began with the ATS sedan more body.

So will there be a 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine is available, which is a further development of the block from the regular ATS. In the Coupe that delivers 14% more torque (up to 400 Nm), and 276 hp. This should be a sprint to 100 in 5.8 seconds are feasible. The power to the rear wheels led or -if that option is checked in the order – to all four wheels. Cadillac announces further proud that the only the real sound of the driveline is strengthened, in contrast to some competitors who have previously recorded engine noise through the stereo pumps. Oh snap, take that BMW.

The wheelbase is equal to that of the sedan, but the bodywork is entirely new designed. Also there is a wider wielspoor for a more aggressive stance. The weight distribution of the ATS Coupe is almost 50/50 and there is a “vijflink independent rear suspension with lightweight high-grade steel components and a front suspension with double-hinged MacPherson struts and a direct-linked anti-roll bar.” Behind the front 18-inch wheels we find a braking system from Brembo, which is there at the back is mounted for reports of Cadillac.

The interior shows a lot of similarities with the sedan, including the CUE infotainment system that is further developed with text-to-voice for smartphone users and Siri Eyes Free for iphone users. The ATS Coupe is from this summer to order from importer Nefkens in Amersfoort, the upcoming autumn will be the first copies of our roads reach. Or the European premium brands it is very anxious to get we dare to doubt.

As soon as we liveplaatjes from Amerikaland we will add that in here.
