Cadillac, a luxury automobile and SUV division of US automaker General Motors (GM), has unveiled the revamped variant of ATS Sedan, the 2015 ATS Coupe.
The new vehicle is powered by a 3.6L six cylinder engine, which has replaced the previous 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with options of rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
Designed to offer better personal experience of the compact luxury car, the 2015 ATS Coupe is equipped with the same 109.3-inch wheelbase, but features longer bodywork and wider front/rear tracks.
As part of the refurbishment, the company has upgraded the car's roof, doors, rear fenders and trunk lid along with front fascia and front fenders.
ATS chief engineer David Masch said all of the surface development unique to the ATS Coupe was done with aerodynamics in mind.
"We are able to achieve lift and downforce requirements to insure, at top speed, we retain handling without having to add a rear spoiler," Masch added.
Other features of the revamped vehicle includes, wider front/rear tracks and lower roofline.
Cadillac executive chief engineer David Leone said the wider track also helps improve steering precision and direct response.
"The lower roof contributes to a lower center of gravity height, which also reduces roll and improves steering response," Leone added.
The 2015 ATS Coupe is scheduled to be available by summer 2014 at a starting price of $38,990.
