Next year, Cadillac Racing is expected to don new vehicles, and replace the CTS-V.R Coupes with GT3-spec ATS-V.R Coupes in the Pirelli World Challenge racing series. But what you see above you is not the racecar. At the same time, what you see above you is not somebody’s pipe-dream photo shop experiment.
It’s an upcoming project currently in the works by Rëth Cadillac (formally known as Revolution Styling), and it’s dubbed the ATS/R. The body kit was developed in conjunction with Pfadt Race Engineering (which unfortunately closed its doors a few months ago), and it will be available for purchase for 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupes soon.
Shown above with a Black Diamond exterior with bronze wheels , the ATS/R aims to replicate the looks of an official GT car, and freak out BMW owners at traffic lights at the same time. This particular ATS/R is going to be equipped with all-wheel-drive and a 3.6L V6.
Now, now, there will be powertrain upgrades to go with the looks, too. These plans include a supercharger option for the V6 and E85 fuel tune, while the 2.0L turbo engine could be garnished with a water/meth injection tune from Banks Power, a downpipe, and exhaust upgrade. But really, everyone just wants to see a Small Block V8 thrown in there. Lastly, the wide wheels are wrapped in Pirelli rubber.
The cost for the ATS/R body kit, wheel and tire package is expected to be around $74,000, and will maintain a full General Motors warranty.
Rëth hopes to have a prototype ready for SEMA 2014, which is happening at the beginning of November. It’s a tight window, but we’re rooting for them.

Looks absolutely gorgeous and amazing by the looks of it.
Warning: Speed bumps will void the warranty.
This car looks so mean. I would hate to be a Merc, Audi or BMW owner and see this in my mirror. Mind you, i think that feeling would be short lived once it flies past and disappears over the horizon. I think i will need to do lots of overtime, then maybe i could buy one.
If they made the ATS V series coupe with flared wheel wells, it would definitely rock the 3 series. Not like the race car but something that shows Cadillac is serious when they say want to challenge Audi, BMW, and Mercedes.
Good luck getting anything from rëth. There well know scam artists go into any ats communitie and ask them about rëth and youll hear a number of storys about people getting ripped off.
