Similar to the world’s top athletes, the ATS

is built on an incredibly strong, yet lean

architecture for quickness and agility.

Every component of the all-new chassis was

evaluated down to the gram to reduce weight

without sacrificing strength, durability or safety.

The result is the perfect combination of ultra-

high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium and

other advanced materials, which create

a premium sport sedan that is extremely robust

while still athletic and composed.

A near-perfect front-to-rear 50/50 weight

balance, low center of gravity and distinct

suspension geometry blend flawlessly with

performance-tuned Rear-Wheel Drive or

available All-Wheel Drive. Engaging and

responsive, the ATS sport sedan delivers an

exhilarating driving experience that is nothing

short of electrifying.

PURPOSEBUILT SUSPENSION GEOMETRY

Utilizing a double-pivot MacPherson strut front and

5-link rear design, the independent suspension in the

ATS was purposely engineered for responsive, nimble

handling with excellent refinement.

BREMBO BRAKES

Power is nothing without control. So we combined

forces with the world-renowned brake experts

at Brembo

to engineer the 4-piston, fixed-caliper

front brakes that deliver remarkable stopping power

and consistent pedal feel.

12 WORLDCLASS COMPONENTS 13

It stands to reason that building a world-class luxury sport sedan requires

world-class components. That is why we worked with highly acclaimed

companies like ZF to construct and fine-tune the premium speed-sensitive

electric steering system. We teamed with world-renowned Brembo

to develop

the available 4-piston, fixed-caliper front-brake system, which provides

remarkable and repeatable stopping power. And we worked hand in hand

with Tremec

to design an available precision 6-speed manual transmission

tailored specifically for the ATS. Then we went a step further and made

class-exclusive Magnetic Ride Control available, which adjusts the suspension

almost instantaneously to changing surfaces, camber and conditions, up to

1,000 times a second. It is credentials like these, along with the available

performance seats and limited-slip rear differential, that define the ATS as not

only a luxury car, but also a bona fide driver’s car.

WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE BEGINS WITH

WORLD-CLASS COMPONENTS.

LIMITEDSLIP REAR DIFFERENTIAL

Maximum grip means maximum performance. The

ATS features an available mechanical limited-slip

rear differential that ensures the highest amount of

engine torque is transferred to the wheel with the

most traction.

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL

Now in its third generation available –

after being pioneered in other Cadillac

models like the CTS-V – revolutionary

Magnetic Ride Control reads the road up

to 1,000 times per second and seamlessly

adjusts damping for exceptional ride,

handling and control.

ZF PREMIUM STEERING SYSTEM

A highly acclaimed manufacturer of steering systems, ZF,

created the electric-assist, speed-sensitive steering rack

for the ATS. It not only helps save fuel by eliminating

the traditional power-robbing hydraulic pump, but also

delivers precise feel with the perfect amount of effort.
