I haven't seen anything indicating the ATS will have a V8 option. I will be very surprised if GM offers a V8 because I think it would be tough to engineer a chassis that could run an I-4, V6, and V8. I guess it could happen but then you start having weight distribution and suspension geometry issues.
Is this an early indication the 6th gen Camaro will not have a V8? I've always believed the 5th gen will be the last V8 powered Camaro. We might be seeing a V6 powered ZL1 in the future (6th gen). Sounds bad? A twin turbo V6 in a ~3600 lbs chassis might change your mind!
