Recently, GM is reportedly working on the design of a twin-turbo and supercharged engine, one of them will be installed on the 2014 Cadillac CTS-V.
Although the final decision is uncertain, but the next-gen CTS-V is likely to be equipped with an all-new 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine. A same engine is also used by the 2014 Corvette C7, according to Motor Trend Magazine (WOT).
Then, a new twin-turbo V6 engine apparently also being prepared for the Cadillac ATS-V, which essentially has been used in the prototype version. Other rumors say, "The ATS was designed with room for a V-8 as big as the 7.0-liter Corvette Z06's", quoted from Motor Trend.
This means that the ATS was also designed to fit with the V8 engine and will probably emerge as the ATS-V "Plus" is powered by a V8 engine. The report also revealed that it could have been destined for a particular model, precisely at the end of the first-gen ATS' lifecycle.
The second-generation Cadillac CTS will move from the current Sigma platform to GM's new Alpha platform. Under the hood, we will see a lineup of new engines: the standard model will get a 270-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine borrowed from the ATS and the top version will keep the current 3.6-liter V6 engine. The CTS-V version could use a 6.2-liter V8 engine with an output of more than 556 horsepower.
