Hrrmm...very cool, but also strange because of this:

MotorTrend also just posted an article with spy shots they believe is the ATS-V

http://wot.motortrend.com/spied-2015...#axzz2MyKNx6VL

The car MT shows has black rims, different camo, and quad exhaust which is different from the car linked in the first post here. They also say the car had an impressive exhaust note which seemed more V8 than V6.

I'm excited about this, but now I'm wondering if these are both ATS-Vs, or not. (or really, if maybe they just don't have different engines for testing perhaps?)

Fen...what say you?

If they are wanting to approach current CTS-V levels well then the TTV6 won't do it (b/c even though a TTV6 can go that high, I don't seem them doing it from the factory). Otherwise if they want to be in the 400 - 450 range a TTV6 would be great. MT also suggests it could be the 3.0 litre TT V6. I hope that is not true and it is instead the 3.6 (which is what the LF3 is correct?)

Otherwise I see them throwing the new LT1 V8 in there and calling it a day.
