Want a slice of presidency? You can now buy Joe Biden’s 464bhp Cadillac ATS-V
It’s a unique one off tailored to his requirements, and is up for sale on Cars and Bids
It’s well known by now that President Joe Biden is a big car man, and regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, there's no denying he certainly knows how to spec a car. The proof? This 2018 Cadillac ATS-V saloon, which is now up for sale at Cars and Bids. Yes, this is your chance to own the President’s old wheels.
Let’s kick off with the interior, where a big onus is placed on the Kona Brown theme - believed to be the only ATS-V ever finished with it following a specific request from the President. Elsewhere, the cabin is trimmed with Sapele wood and a semi-aniline upholstery. Don’t worry, we don’t know what any of that is either, but it sounds like a great place to enjoy the Bose surround sound system.
Outside, Mr President has chosen a pretty menacing colour combo, with an all-black body and lightly shadowed windows leaving plenty of room for the bronzed Blackwing alloys to take centre stage. You also get upgraded Rennick Performance attachments to the front and rear sections, while blacked-out emblems heighten the vicious look.
Bringing things to a close with the powertrain, you’re right to expect plenty of noise and smoke from America’s answer to the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63. That means a 3.6-litre twin-turbo V6, which sends 464bhp and 445lb ft of torque to the rear wheels via an eight-speed auto box. We sincerely hope you pulled a few doughnuts in the White House’s dining hall with it, Mr President.
