Cadillac ATS-V Performance Overview
Cadillac’s ATS-V occupied a short, focused performance window from 2016 to 2017, and across 10 verified tests it shows a tightly grouped set of results rather than a long multi-generation evolution. Every recorded example comes from this single era, powered by the 464-hp LF4 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 and a gasoline-only layout. The benchmark arrived immediately: the 2016 3.6 Sedan set the model’s quickest recorded 0-60 time at 3.7 seconds, while also producing the line’s fastest quarter-mile of 12.1 seconds at 122 mph.
Within that 2016-2017 run, the ATS-V’s performance spread remained narrow. Sedan tests clustered at the quicker end, including another 2016 3.6 Sedan run of 3.8 seconds to 60 mph, while coupe results typically landed slightly behind, such as 4.1 seconds for a 2016 3.6 Coupe and 4.3 seconds for another 2016 3.6 Coupe, the slowest recorded launch in the sample. Across the full production span, the average result was 4.05 seconds to 60 mph and 12.39 seconds in the quarter-mile at 116 mph. That leaves the ATS-V today as a compact, single-generation performance entry defined by consistently low-four-second acceleration and one standout 12.1-second quarter-mile pass.
