news from the manufacturer Cadillac, the rumor mill around Cadillac and its new ATS-V is currently boggling powerfully. It is rumored that Cadillac would like to bring the ATS-V with a powerful LS7 V8 and 7 liters of displacement onto the market. We know some technical data (rather guesswork) about the crazy project. If the ATS-V comes with the LS7, that would be a tough job for the BMW M4 or the C63. What we have learned we have listed below for you in a small summary.

Here are a few unconfirmed guesses:

• possibly naturally aspirated LS7 Big-Block-V8 (from the fifth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro Z / 28)
• 7-liter displacement
• Quick shift dual clutch transmission
