The Chevy 130R concept was kind of along those lines, but didn't make production, although supposedly GM gave it a long hard look
The Solstice Coupe sold something like a hundred units...

Ohh I really like that!!!
It looks like a 135i with the nose of Chevy Cruze.
Wasn't a Porsche 944 or 968 a 2.7 liter
968 was a 3.0L I4 I thought?

Yup. 968 reciprocating bits could be used to make a 6 liter 928 engine, from what I've seen.
It was, for a long time, not only the largest modern 4 cylinder engine, but also the highest specific torque naturally aspirated engine, of any cylinder count.

I always wanted an S2 (that was the bad boy one, right?), but nice ones have been out of my budget for quite awhile.

Well would you look at that! GM threw it into the V-model of the CT4
In reply to Dootz :
I'm not sure those work as V cars in the same way that the old ones do. We'll see if they sell or not I suppose .
Yeah, it's disappointing to see the big drop in power for what are supposed to be "Uber-sedans."
That 355hp turbo V6 (which is only a 20hp upgrade over the naturally aspirated V6 available in the regular CTS currently) will make people forget all about the 640hp blown LT4 in the CTS-V3. I know that the Cadillac Vs were automotive freaks and that sooner or later the party had to end, but wow, what a downgrade

Seems that this writer doesn’t know much about the CTS line. There was a 420hp V6 turbo CTS-V Sport for a while.
Wonder why they detuned the 3.0L turbo for the CT5-V?
Wonder why they use a different engine in the CT4-V, which doesn't seem to be terribly appropriate for the application? My guess would be cost.

It's GM. Nonsensical decisions are their forte. Yeah, why not use the old V-Sport motor in the CT5-V. The CT5-V literally makes less power than ever CTS-V before it.
The ATS-V motor was a 3.6L tt. I don’t know what in the GM line-up was running a 3.0L.

the CTS V-Sport and XTS. But it was making ~400hp in those. So why yank ~50hp out of it?
