Cadillac has just announced that the forthcoming 2013 ATS will come packing a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder putting out an estimated 270 horsepower.
The engine features direct-injection, a twin-scroll turbo huffing 20 psi of boost, an air-to-air intercooler and variable valve timing, along with a forged-steel crankshaft and a two-stage variable displacement oil pump.
Cadillac claims the new 2.0-liter is 16 percent more efficient than the previous generation four-pot, and is able to deliver its peak 260 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 to 5,800 RPM.
Two other engines will be offered in the 2013 Cadillac ATS when it goes on sale next year, including a normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder and GM's tried-and-true 3.5-liter V6. Get the skinny in the press blast after the break and expect more details from next month's Detroit Auto Show.
