Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.

Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won’t have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3 originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:46:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

LOL some spy shot..we can tell exactly what it looks like with the covers one. Doesn't look to different from 2013...plus cadillac in never going to be in the league of BMWs M models. American cars are just muscle power and no cornering or quality.
