Press Release :
Cadillac Introduces 2015 ATS Coupe-
Cadillac’s first compact luxury Coupe, infused with ATS sedan’s agility
-
2.0L Turbo model is segment’s lightest, with increased torque for faster acceleration
-
Launching in summer 2014, continuing Cadillac’s ongoing expansion
DETROIT – Cadillac today introduced the all-new 2015 ATS Coupe, a quicker and more personal addition to the award-winning ATS product line. Designed to be lighter, more agile and more engaging than its competitors, it extends Cadillac’s product-driven growth and the brand’s tradition of dynamic luxury Coupes.
Cadillac’s first-ever compact luxury Coupe goes on sale this summer, offering drivers the choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the power from a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.6L six-cylinder. In all combinations, ATS Coupe takes advantage of its lightweight and strong structure to deliver exhilarating performance with efficiency, with a segment-leading power-to-weight ratio.
“The 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is a natural step in the brand's progression, and another fun-to-drive and technologically advanced product for a new generation of drivers extending our target groups,” said Uwe Ellinghaus, chief marketing officer, Global Cadillac. “It is an exclusively distinctive American alternative, unique in its class, yet delivering a sporty and sophisticated driving experience rivaling the world's best.”
Like the sedan, the ATS Coupe’s driving dynamics are rooted in mass efficiency, which helps make it one of Cadillac’s lightest and most agile models ever – and the lightest car in the compact luxury Coupe segment. The 2.0L Turbo engine is upgraded from the current ATS sport sedan to deliver nearly 14 percent more torque, taking it to 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). This gives the standard ATS Coupe an advantage in power and weight over similarly equipped Coupes such as the BMW 428i.
Greater torque means greater pulling power, for a greater feeling of responsiveness at low speeds, and helps the ATS Coupe achieve an estimated 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds.
“More power with less weight is always a better combination for performance, and the ATS Coupe offers one of the best power-to-weight ratios in the segment, making it feel lighter, more direct and responsive,” said David Leone, Cadillac executive chief engineer. “Engineers vetted the ATS’s performance on the track, and the Coupe benefits from that exhaustive validation – all matched with Cadillac’s trademark refinement.”
Elements that contribute to the ATS Coupe’s balanced performance and responsive characteristics include:
Nearly perfect 50/50 weight balance and low center of gravity
Five-link independent rear suspension featuring lightweight, high-strength steel and efficient straight link designs
A multi-link double-pivot MacPherson-strut front suspension with direct-acting stabilizer bar
Underbody aerodynamic shields
Premium, belt-driven electric variable-effort steering gear from ZF Steering Systems
Brembo front brakes
Eighteen-inch aluminum wheels
Available all-wheel drive.
A driver-adjustable FE3 sport suspension is available and includes Magnetic Ride Control, a mechanical limited-slip differential, high-capacity engine cooling system and 18-inch summer-performance tires. Magnetic Ride Control is a real-time damping system that delivers more precise body motion control. It “reads” the road and can change damping every millisecond.
Design details
The 2015 ATS Coupe rides on the same 109.3-inch (2,775 mm) wheelbase as the sedan, but features its own bodywork. The roof, doors, rear fenders and trunk lid are unique to the Coupe, along with a specific front fascia and front fenders that accommodate a wider track than the sedan. It is also the first production model to wear Cadillac’s revised crest.
The Coupe also has an aggressive stance, with wider front/rear tracks than the sedan, enhanced by short overhangs and sheet metal that wrap tautly around the tires. Standard 18-inch wheels are exclusive to the Coupe.
Bold lighting elements are a Cadillac signature feature and the ATS Coupe advances that tradition with available light-emitting diode, or LED, headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting. Base models feature projector-beam headlamps, while high-intensity-discharge headlamps and front vertical LED light signatures are included on all but the standard model. Illuminating outside door handles on Performance and Premium collections lend technologically advanced style and function to the distinctive Coupe. All models feature LED taillamps and rear-center stop lamp.
The ATS Coupe also includes capless fueling.
Inside, the sedan’s driver-focused cabin carries over to the Coupe, featuring handcrafted cut-and-sewn upholstered interior combinations, decorative stitching and authentic materials, including leather, aluminum, carbon fiber and wood, intended to enhance the emotional connection to the driving experience.
Choices of many interior color themes, each with unique accent trim materials, ranging from light, open and warm to dark and serious, to bold technical and sporty.
Available interior features include:
OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot
Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity with natural voice recognition
Text-to-voice that converts incoming text messages to speech and reads them over the audio system speakers
USB, auxiliary and SD memory card ports
SiriusXM Satellite Radio with three-month trial subscription
Reconfigurable 5.7-inch, three-window instrument panel cluster display
Full-color reconfigurable head-up display.
A Bose ® premium audio system with Active Noise Cancelation technology is standard on all models and includes electronic sound enhancement on models equipped with the available premium surround sound audio system. Exclusive to ATS Coupe and differing from other manufacturers’ systems that pipe recorded engine sounds through the audio system; Cadillac’s system enhances only the car’s authentic powertrain sounds to enhance the performance experience.
The 12-speaker surround sound upgrade is available on Standard and Luxury, and it is included with Performance and Premium collections. It includes Bose Audio Pilot, which continuously monitors ambient sounds and adjusts the music volume and program content to make the most of the listening experience.
Additionally, a navigation system is available on Luxury and Performance collections, and it is standard with the Premium Collection.
Enhanced Cadillac CUE leads technologies
Cadillac CUE is the centerpiece of the ATS Coupe’s comprehensive collection of technologies designed to enhance the driving experience and complement customers’ increasingly connected lifestyles. It is available on base models and standard on Luxury, Performance and Premium collections, with enhanced connectivity and convenience for 2015, including a new Text-to-Voice feature for smartphone users with Bluetooth profile (M.A.P.) and Sire Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users to enhance connectivity and convenience. Each enables voice-controlled connectivity – and helps keep the driver’s hands on the wheel.
The heart of CUE is the eight-inch LCD multi-touch sensitive screen, integrated into the top of the central instrument panel and featuring a motorized, fully capacitive faceplate at the bottom concealing a 1.8L storage area. CUE’s vibrant liquid crystal display, or LCD, screen resembles a smartphone screen with large, easy-to-target icons to execute commands.
Complementing CUE is OnStar 4G LTE connectivity, featuring a new built-in Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect up to seven devices at once. The new 4G LTE connection can also be used to power CUE Collection, a new in-car app marketplace coming to Cadillac vehicles this year.
Additional technologies that make life with the ATS Coupe more convenient include the capability to remotely start the engine or lower the windows with the key fob or the owner’s smartphone. EZ Key passive entry and push-button starting is standard, too, so the key never needs to leave the driver’s pocket or purse.
Power-dense powertrains
The engine lineup includes a standard 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder and available 3.6L V-6. The award-winning 2.0L Turbo is rated at 272 horsepower (203 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm). The award-winning 3.6L V-6 is rated at 321 horsepower (239 kW) and 275 lb-ft of torque (373 Nm).
At 136hp/L, the 2.0L Turbo is one of the most power-dense engines in the industry, topping engines from European competitors. It also delivers 90 percent of its peak torque from 2100 rpm to 5400 rpm and the full 295 lb-ft of peak torque (400 Nm) from 3000 to 4600 rpm. The broad torque band is supported by boost levels as high as 18 psi (1.26 bar) in the speed range, which is designed to give the lightweight ATS Coupe an exhilarating feeling of immediate power on demand.
Both engines feature direct injection and dual overhead camshafts with continuously variable valve timing, which help optimize power and efficiency, as well as reduce emissions. And each is matched with the Hydra-Matic 6L45 six-speed automatic transmission with tap-shift control. A six-speed manual is also available with the 2.0L Turbo.
Advanced safety features
ATS Coupe delivers the same safety technologies found in the ATS Sedan. Additionally, Cadillac provides available advanced safety based on Cadillac’s “control and alert” strategy, which employs up to two cameras, eight ultrasonic sensors and six radar signals to help prevent crashes.
The safety features bolster driver vision and awareness of road hazards, and can even help the driver avert potential crashes. In certain situations, Cadillac’s advanced crash-avoidance systems, such as automatic braking, can pre-fill and automatically apply braking in response to potential hazards.
Among the most sophisticated of the features is Fr ont and Rear Automatic Braking. It relies on radar, camera and ultrasonic technology to help the driver prevent front and rear low-speed collisions via a progression of alerts that extend to complete braking, if necessary.
Many of the advanced safety features are bundled in the Driver Awareness and Driver Assist Packages. The Driver Awareness package is available on Luxury and included in Performance and Premium Collections. It includes:
Safety Alert Seat
Forward Collision Alert
Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist – new to Cadillac for 2015
Intellibeam ® high-beam control
Front and rear park assist
Rear-vision camera with dynamic guidelines.
The Driver Assist package is available on Performance and Premium collections and includes all of the Driver Awareness package content, plus:
Full-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control
Automatic Collision Preparation
Motorized safety belts
Electronic Park Brake
Front and Rear Automatic Braking
Enhanced Side Blind Zone Alert – new to Cadillac for 2015
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
Full-color head-up display.
The advanced technologies complement other ATS safety features, including eight standard air bags, safety belt pretensioners and load limiters, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with full-function traction control and four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS, patented rotor coating protection and auto-dry functionality.

[h=2]could have up to 500 hp[/h] amg product chief tobias moers confirmed the new c63 amg will be out in early 2015 with a newly developed v8 4.0-liter twin-turbo gasoline engine.
Rumors about the all-new c63 amg getting a twin-turbo v8 4.0-liter engine have now been confirmed and the new motor will be the result of joining two of amg's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engines found inside the high-performance versions of the a-class lineup (a45 amg, cla45 amg and gla45 amg).
The new model is "about a year" away according to tobias moers who said amg models usually have more power than rivals. Since the recently introduced 2014 bmw m3 sedan / m4 coupe have 431 hp (317 kw), we expect at least 450 hp (331 kw) from the 2015 c63 amg and up to 500+ hp (368 kw) with the optional performance package.
On a side note, reports are indicating mercedes-benz will install the engine in the slc which will allegedly be introduced on july 20.

Penso che su qualunque auto esistente sulla terra, per far funzionare un qualsiasi device, si debba mettere la chiave sotto tensione Per le marce, ma guardi il pomello?
Sulla Delta no...
All'inizio si, un'occhiata alle marce la davo

La skyline di Detroit sul tappetino gommato è davvero kitsch imho.
(farà sfaceli in terra madre! )Voglio quei tappetini

Ebbene sì.
Ieri ero in viaggio sulla Y10 con mia nonna, lungo una strada privata di montagna. Essendo la strada privata, non ho resistito alla tentazione e le ho chiesto di lasciarmi il volante. L’avevo già guidata in passato, per portarla su dai garage quando aveva mal di schiena e non riusciva a fare le manovre. Pochi metri a passo d’uomo, quasi non mi accorgevo di guidarla. Ieri (fra andata e ritorno) ho fatto quasi dieci chilometri…
Esterni
È una normalissima y10, una 1.1 i.e. del novembre del ’92, rosso convetry (con simpatici ghirigori fatti coi chiodi da altrettanto simpatici studenti
). Le coppe ruota sono ancora integre, nonostante i marciapiedi. Sul tetto fa bella mostra di sé il portapacchi, montato quando l’auto era ancora in mano a mia mamma.Foto d'archivio:
Interni
Gli interni sono sempre sul bordeaux, decorati da motivi scozzesi in verde, azzurro e arancio. Nonostante i ventidue anni sono ancora abbastanza puliti e per nulla stinti. La vernice con cui erano state originariamente trattate le plastiche (per farle sembrare morbide al tatto) si era sciolta nel corso degli anni (caratteristica comune a tutte le Y10 post facelift), rendendo la plancia e i fianchetti delle portiere completamente appiccicosi. Decidemmo qualche anno fa di pulire tutte le plastiche col Vim, per levare la vernice. Ora sono dure, ma non c’è più il rischio di sporcarsi mani e vestiti.
I sedili, come detto prima, sono rivestiti in tessuto e trattengono abbastanza bene in curva. Sono regolabili, ma non a scatti. I poggiatesta (di plastica morbida) non sono regolabili e per me (che sono alto 1,70) sono abbastanza scomodi.
Plancia e comandi
Tutto (oddio…tutto
, sono quattro tasti e tre manopole in croce ) a portata di mano. Il principale difetto è che per far funzionare qualsiasi cosa (sbrinatore, fendinebbia, tergi posteriore, tergi anteriore, lavavetro…) bisogna dare uno scatto con la chiave. All’inizio c’è il rischio di spegnere l’auto, ma dopo poco ci si fa l’abitudine 
Il cruscotto è facilmente leggibile in qualsiasi condizione di luce: gli indicatori sono pochi: tachimetro (la lancetta resta ferma alle basse velocità), termometro dell’acqua e livello benzina. A destra c’è la sagoma dell’auto vista dall’alto con indicate le pressioni adeguate perle gomme. Nella fascia in basso le spie riguardanti il freno a mano, l’olio, la batteria, la cintura (solo quella del guidatore) etc…La radio della Pionner (originariamente montata sulla vecchia Delta di papà) è in posizione troppo bassa, tenuta lontano da sguardi indiscreti (sì, le rubano ancora
) da uno sportellino. Le due casse anteriori fanno il loro lavoro, ma per chi viaggia dietro sono pressoché inutili. In aiuto dei passeggeri dietro ci sono due casse (di un vecchio pc ) fissate sulle plastiche ai lati della cappelliera. Nota di demerito per quanto riguarda la chiusura delle portiere: con l’umidità si chiudono da sole, fatto odioso se dimentichi le chiavi nell’abitacolo )Abitabilità e visibilità
In quattro si viaggia stretti, specie dietro (è omologata però per 5) . Inclinati i sedili anteriori e levati i poggiatesta si ottiene una superficie abbastanza regolare (chissà, in futuro…
). Il bagagliaio è scarso, sufficiente però per la spesa (non che le city car di oggi siano tanto meglio, anzi…)Comfort
Gli ammortizzatori non esistono più :mrgeen:
L’imbottitura dei sedili garantisce comunque un discreto confort. Il motore diventa rumoroso dopo i 60 km/h mentre alle basse velocità quasi non si sente.
Motore
È l’indistruttibile 1.1 i.e. Fire da 55 cavalli, più che sufficienti in città. La ripresa è buona, l’accelerazione un po’ meno…
Cambio
Bisogna indovinare le marce, in quanto il pomello del cambio è oramai liso. È abbastanza difficile da manovrare.
Sterzo
È abbastanza duro, in particolare a fare manovre in spazi ridotti.
Tenuta di strada
Non pervenuta
Colpa anche delle gomme, che sarebbero da cambiare.
In conclusione
È un’utilitaria progettata quasi trent’anni fa, con tutti i suoi limiti. Chiusura centralizzata, freni e tenuta di strada non sono il suo forte, tuttavia è gradevole da guidare, per certi versi divertente. Una cosa è certa: dopo pochi metri hai l’impressione di averla guidata da una vita. Le dotazioni di sicurezza sono ridotte al minimo (cinture e l’immaginetta di papa Woytila sul cruscotto
)Domani metto un po' di foto

Il corriere titola in Home che le alfa saranno costruite solo in Italia, vale anche per il duetto?
Credo di no. Quello dovrebbe nascere ad Hiroshima

Quella azzurra ha il sistema di chiusura della calandra. Mi piace
Io però avrei fatto i "cosi" che chiudono la calandra in nero.

Eh, se è solo fissato con la colla, ti infili da dove è staccato con un qualcusa di lungo e basso (es, una riga da 50 centimetri). Muovendola, separi la tela dal tetto.
