Cadillac ATS
Cadillac unveiled the 2013 ATS, an all-new compact luxury sports car with the intention of competing with the best of the premium cars. It is built on a lightweight architecture, which allows Cadillac to break into the worldwide luxury car segment when it is released in the summer of 2012.
The ATS features the signature Cadillac blend of performance, design, and technological innovation, demonstrated through the CUE - an integrated system that combines user-friendly designs with unique control and command options for information and media.
“The ATS has been designed to provide drivers with nimble, quick and fun-to-drive dynamics, expanding Cadillac's portfolio to enter the global segment,” said Don Butler, Cadillac's Vice President of Marketing. “For luxury consumers, the ATS promises a car that meshes with their lifestyle and has the potential to shake up the status quo of the sector.”
The Cadillac ATS is evidence of the automotive brand's Art and Science philosophy, using efficient and agile design as the foundation of exceptional dynamism. With its curb weight of less than 1,542 kg, the ATS is the lightest of the Cadillac range. Testing for this model was conducted at the Nürburgring in Germany, as well as other roads, racetracks, and laboratories around the world.
The car’s engineering elements include a nearly 50/50 weight distribution, a five-link independent rear suspension, a multi-link MacPherson-strut front suspension with stabilizer bar, driver-adjustable FE3 sport suspension with Magnetic Ride Control, aerodynamic shields, a premium electric variable-effort steering gear, and four-channel ABS with available Brembo performance brakes. The ATS also offers an all-wheel drive option.
