This record's own dek states that the CTS-V and ATS-V continued in 2018: 1,297 CTS-V sedans, 213 ATS-V coupes, and 344 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 2016.¹
