Road & Track magazine has released the first official pictures of the all-new 2016 Cadillac ATS-V, which will be available in coupe and sedan body styles. Look for it to make a first appearance at next week's Los Angeles Auto Show. 

Equipped with a 3.6L twin-turbo V6 engine that produces 450 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, the Cadillac ATS-V offers 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmissions, a 50% firmer ride, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and larger brakes.

It also boasts a lower ride height, a heat extractor in the hood, as well as aggressive fascias. Cadillac will reportedly sell an optional package to add a different front, splitter, side skirts and rear spoiler for extra downforce at speed.

Pricing and the on-sale date for the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V have yet to be announced.
