After months of rumors, our spy photographers have just sent us the first hard evidence that Cadillac is working on a hardcore ATS-V performance sedan to take on BMW's next-generation M3.
Spotted undergoing shakedown testing in the Western United States, this prototype has all the telltale signs of a Cadillac V-series product. Up front's you'll notice Cadillac's signature V-series mesh grille, with this particular prototype wear wheels and tires borrowed from the CTS-V. It remains unclear at this point if those wheels were fitted out of convenience or if they're indicative of the final design.
Behind those 19-inch rollers reside larger brakes not typically found on run-of-the-mill ATS models. Judging by the size of the caliper and disc, the ATS-V should have some serious stopping power.
Out back the ATS-V sports dual exhaust outlets that appear to be slightly bigger than the ATS' standard units.
