2017 Cadillac V-Series: A Quiet Continuation Year

This record's own dek states that the CTS-V and ATS-V continued in 2017: 1,519 CTS-V sedans, 310 ATS-V coupes, and 579 ATS-V sedans in the V-Series production list. This record's own overview states that the V-Series consisted of the CTS-V sedan and the ATS-V coupe and sedan, restates those production figures, and states that model-year-specific ratings, prices, and tests were not located in the sources inspected, so none are carried over from 2016 to fill the gap.¹

This record's own conflicts section addresses 2017 CTS-V production directly: 1,519 in the V-Series production list against 1,887 in a GM Authority article. Its treatment notes that GM Authority's 2017 figure repeats its 2016 figure exactly and may be a copying error, since it names no source for the year, while the table carries Cadillac V-Net's figure, which that site says came from Cadillac, with a status of disputed, and this record's own production row for the CTS-V sedan reflects that disputed status rather than resolving it.²

This record's own prices section documents an MSRP of $85,995 excluding destination and a dealer invoice of $81,695 for the CTS-V sedan, an MSRP of $62,895 and invoice of $59,750 for the ATS-V coupe, and an MSRP of $60,695 and invoice of $57,660 for the ATS-V sedan, the coupe priced roughly $2,200 above the sedan at both MSRP and invoice, all drawn from the same buyer's-guide database used for other model years in this record's source set.^3,3

This record's own engines section documents the LF4 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 at 464 hp at 5,850 rpm and 445 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm (343.3 kW, 603.3 N-m in the GM order guide), standard on the ATS-V sedan and coupe. This record's own transmissions section documents the MG9 six-speed manual as standard and the M5U eight-speed automatic with Performance Algorithm Shifting as optional, with no transmission split published in any source read and no separate CTS-V engine documented for 2017.⁴

This record's own options section states that no 2017 CTS-V order guide was found, so CTS-V options for 2017 are not recorded, while it documents the ATS-V's RPOs in detail: Y91 Luxury Package, CFZ Carbon Fiber Package, Y4Q Track Performance Package, and J6F red or J6J Dark Gold Brembo calipers. This record's own identification section documents order-guide model codes 6AE69 for the ATS-V sedan and 6AE47 for the ATS-V coupe, both under Preferred Equipment Group 1SV, with no CTS-V model code recorded for this year's identification section.⁴

This record's own paint section documents six ATS-V colors, Crystal White Tricoat, Red Obsession Tintcoat, Phantom Gray Metallic, Radiant Silver Metallic, Black Raven, and Vector Blue Metallic, with no per-color production published for the 2017 ATS-V or CTS-V in any source read, and each color carrying its own touch-up paint code in the order guide. This record's own interiors section documents four ATS-V trims, HH0 and HG3 both Jet Black with V carbon fiber trim, HG1 Light Platinum with Jet Black seatbacks, and HG2 Jet Black with Saffron inserts, the latter two requiring the Y91 Luxury Package, with no equivalent CTS-V trim list recorded for 2017.⁴
