The 2013 Cadillac ATS sedan has just been spied! Riding on GM´s new, rear-drive Alpha chassis, the ATS has been described as a smaller, CTS-like vehicle. From the overall look of these prototypes, we´d say that´s an accurate description.
GM intends it to be a true competitor to the BMW 3-series. As far as motors go, the ATS should get GM's 2.0L turbo-charged 4-cylinder. The 3.0L V6 or the 3.6L V6 (or maybe both) should also find its' way into the ATS. Currently, production of the ATS sedan is slated to start in July of 2012, followed by the coupe in July of 2013.
Grand River Assembly
Back in October, GM announced a $190 million investment in the Grand River Assembly Plant in Lansing, MI to build the all-new Cadillac ATS line of vehicles. Expect pricing to range from the high 20's to mid 30's. An impressive feature we can see on this prototype is the CTS Coupe-inspired rear end. Much like the coupe, the ATS sedan appears to come to a point at the rear. Club racers should not expect the roll cage to be a factory option on the ATS as it's just been installed for safety during high speed track testing.
