That air time was crazy. I've never jumped off the ground, but I have gone over a hill fast and the body of the car lifted off the springs, tires still touching.

Looks very quick. If they can keep this around or below 50,000 this is going to be a huge hit

This has the rumored TT V6 in it?

Yep TT 3.6L V6 rumored to be rated at 425 hp to match the M3/M4...Hopefully GM offers this car with a DCT to match the competition as well.

Can't be mad at that.

Has GM done a DCT before tho? :patrice: last I read they developed their 8L90 to perform better than a DCT, I can't vouch for the performance of it but they might use that across all performance platforms.

Definitely sounds like no DCT for the V.....:to:

We can all agree that the Cadillac ATS-V has this one in the bag, so what about performance? Well, the US-spec BMW M4 has got a turbocharged inline-six good for 425 horsepower, while the upcoming performance Caddy will get a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 which will get somewhere between 430 to 450 all-American ponies. Coupled to a fast-shifting automatic, this powerhouse is expected to propel the ATS-V to 60 mph in something like 4.5 seconds, which is not as fast as the 3.9-second 0 to 60 mph the BMW M4 with the DCT box is capable of.
