Cadillac ATS-V

Introduced in 2016, the newest American muscle four-door car is the compact but immensely powerful Cadillac ATS-V. With this model, Cadillac attacked the likes of Mercedes C Class and BMW 3 Series. It was a modern executive sedan with recognizable styling and brutal power. Under the hood is a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine with 464 hp and 445 lb.-ft of torque. That was enough to launch the ATS-V from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed of an astonishing 189 mph (via Cadillac).

Although the ATS-V doesn’t have a V8, it’s still a proper muscle car and precision driver’s machine also available in two-door form. The sad news for Cadillac’s enthusiasts is that despite stellar reviews from specialized press and fans, the company killed it. This also means you can now get an excellent deal for an ATS-V and pay way less than the MSRP.
