If it was a V engine it would have said in the press release.
The good news is it will probably end up as an option in every GM vehicle that uses the normal 3.6L V6... eventually. Like Ford's twin-turbo V6.
Too bad GM is late to the game on this and that it's Cadillac-only right now.

No way. The ats-v will try to compete with the m3/m4 which will be tt v6 power. Do you really think they will put the same motor in the ast-v as the next (larger) cts-v? It could get the lt1, but it would be naturally aspirated. I would surely think a version of this motor will be in the hot buicks when/if they arrive.
