A Twin Turbo V6 Cadillac Makes No Sense (650HP ATS-V)

Cadillac made waves with its insane supercharged V8 sleeper - the CTS-V. Once they established the V brand, they decided to take a big risk. Instead of only sticking to the V8 - they built the twin turbocharged V6 Cadillac ATS-V. It seemed like a weird decision, but thankfully the ATS-V proved it's worth and was a big hit with automotive journalist. With a ton of power, fast spooling twin turbos, and sharp handling. This thing is a beast. Today we drive a ZZperfomance full bolt on 650HP ATS-V - so let me show you what a modified ATS-V is all about.

I have a 16 ATSV in Pearl White. Came with a tune 512 hp & 488 tq with no bolt ons. I have an intake & DPs sitting Here in boxes from TapOut tuning. I gotta find a shop as my back cant handle the bending anymore. Tried to install new plugs this weekend & got 30 min into disassembly & my back made me reconsider Suicide!

@InsaneBimmer this isn't just any GM 3.6... its the lf4 lol. It's only in the ATSV, it's not a cross platform motor... the chassis and some select things are cross platform, between other performance platforms by GM... but all modern, nothing was reused from 1980 like the hellcats.

[@v-sport1]

Great vid! Love seeing more people realize how amazing they are! True gems imo, and pretty rare as only about 4600 ATS-V’s were ever produced. The engine platform actually began with the CTS V-Sport (only 4500 or so ever made as well) as the RWD TT LF3. The LF3 has about little relation to any previous GM High Feature V6. Originally designed over at Opel. They then took the CTS V-Sport’s LF3, and modularly beefed up things like the turbos’ internals from 43mm to 47mm, threw in lighter titanium rods, two extra smaller intercoolers, & batter oil baffling for track purposes, and called it the LF4 for the ATS-V. The only other model to carry this RWD twin turbo LF platform is the new CT4-Blackwing. Interestingly enough, the automatic trans CT4 Blackwing’s rods were reverted back to the LF3 forged rods, while the manual trans CT4-Blackwing kept the lighter titanium rods for quicker inertia availability with the manual gearbox. Ultimately you can swap out the LF3 with the modular LF4 parts fairly seamlessly. Check out RenickPerformance.com, we happen to be the first & longest running LF3/4 specific parts provider, then check out SchmidtyTuning.com who is the pound for pound most dominant LF3/4 performance tuner. First to get an ATS-V in the 9’s in the 1/4th with only about $1,500 in parts/mods. Fastest 60-130 as well, and many other records. Thanks again for showcasing the platform!! Was great to see! Btw, the cars coolant reservoir looks to be empty in the engine bay clips! 👀

Nice! You should also do the XLR-V and STS-V. When people hear about Northstar they automatically assume it's a terrible engine not realizing there are different types of Northstar engines. The Northstar LC3(4.4 liter) is very durable engine and often gets tuned by D3. It doesn't carry the flaws of the fwd application, the Northstar LD8(4.6) and L37(4.6) which were in the Seville, Deville, Allante and Eldorado. I think the N* LH2 is also good in lower trim of the XLR and STS.

[@Tomekkplk]

one of cadillacs last gems. Now gone forever

[@jackblakesley2103]

So I own an E92 M3, love it, put 50k miles on it an somehow it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. About six months ago, though, a friend was looking to trade his SQ5 for a 2017 M2 and I just couldn't have him commit until he drove a manual ATS-V coupe. So he did. And subsequently bought the Cadillac on sight. These cars, or really anything on the Alpha platform for that matter, are so, so good and are hands down the most underrated performance cars of the last decade. I only brought up my M3 to mention that GM benchmarked the E9X for this chassis and calculated how to, "make a better E9X. As other commenters have, that GM specifically designed this car to beat the M3...and they did. It handles better than an F80 M3, it's a better daily than an F80, the ATS-V gets surprisingly good fuel economy, but at the same time the damn thing RIPS. Sure, maybe the interior isn't 5000% on par with a BMW, but it's close enough to be completely okay in my book. My favorite part about this car has to be ease of service. We've got GM dealerships in the U.S like we've got damn McDonalds, so even if it breaks down in the middle of nowhere, statistically you're never too far from salvation. Unless I can get suckered in on a good deal lifted Cayenne or because I'm a complete moron, a 2011ish Quattroporte GTS: an ATS-V will absolutely be my next car, preferably in sedan form (mostly because they cost way less than a coupe on average). Love 'em, glad you did too David.

GM has made powerful boosted V6's for a long time. The ATS-V was always lauded as the one that handles, but I think people found the interior cabin space was lacking, so they ended up looking elsewhere.

This is why I own 3 of them. Schmidty tune on all 3

I remember these cars were winning races against the premier manufacturers in GT3 races. I still want to own an ATS-V!

Regal GS ('12 - '17) review next? Would love to see your thoughts on them. I have a nearly stock one if you're ever up in Ohio.
