Here is what we have all been waiting for since the ATS first hit the market: shots for the Upcoming ATS-V coupe, a car that should do battle with the upcoming BMW M4.

Thanks to the speedy lenses of our Spies, we have lot of shots to pour over. The car seems to be lower, and while the wheels are only test designs, they are shod in wider low-profile rubber and cover some pretty massive brake hardware. Out back we have what appear to be a small lip-spoiler under that camo, and four huge exhaust pipes.

The front of the car features a much larger Grille, a lower chin spoiler, and what appear to be two smaller intakes. Don't be fooled by the Buick like grille design peeking out from the camouflage, our spies say GM has been fitting fake grilles to many of its prototypes lately.

Expect the new ATS-V to bow at the Detroit Auto Show with Cadillac's twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 under the hood. That same motor pumps our 410 horsepower in the XTS and should put up some great numbers in the lightweight ATS.

This is a car we can't wait to drive. Amicars
