Initially I thought I would modify this 1/18 ATS LONG wb sedan (only sold overseas..."regular wb" sedans were sold in the U.S. ) to match my 1:1 ATS Coupe. Bottom Line: It's just not going to happen; it would simply be way too much work for me... "Mr. Lazy." So, it's just been sitting my shelf as just another Cadillac sedan.
The model itself is nicely done, practically everything moves, slides, rotates or opens but build-quality is less than perfect. 😒 Luckly, it was pretty cheap, so......
I thought it would be neat to see it next to a 2016 Camaro, since both share platforms & drivetrains. The Camaro is actually a bit wider; I've yet to verify that for accuracy.

A great looking modern Cadillac replica and in an excellent color, too !

Great looking Cadillac. I would have loved to see the ATS-V in 1:18.

I have several Cadillac sedans, but none are V-series. In fact, I can only think of a few, not counting Top Speed's resin Cadillac V-race cars... Ricko's 2004 CTS-V sedan and maybe a few CTS-V coupes made by Kyosho? You raise an interesting point.... Why weren't more 1/18 V-series Cadillacs produced? 🤔 🤔 🤔
PS
I checked (why I waited so long I'll never know ).... Despite sharing platforms, Camaros are wider than ATS Cadillacs by a few inches and that indeed checks out in scale. Seems unlikely, but it's true. 🙄

If I remember right, Kyosho made the only 2nd gen CTS-V in sedan form (I had one & sold it)...they also made the regular sedan & coupe.
