Review: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V (08:09)

With Cadillac taking aim at its German adversaries with the all-new 2016 ATS-V, the Motoring TV team thought it would be fun to see how it stacks up, particularly against competitors from segment crown-holder BMW.

Sure, it's not a head-to-head—though you never know what the future holds—but we thought we'd compare some specs to see how the newest luxury performer from Cadillac stands up against BMW's M3/M4.

After attending the ATS-V's unveil, Motoring TV's fearless leader, Brad Diamond, was in Austin, Texas, at the Circuit of the Americas, to drive the car and find out how Cadillac plans to dethrone its rivals.
