Our 2.0 liter LNF turbo now sits in the new Cadillace ATS
Greetings to all. Well, looks like GM has dropped the LNF turbo into a rear-drive Cadillac. It is rated at 272 horse power, and 260 ft pounds torque.
What is neat is that it is rear-drive . Drifting anyone?
The reviews are generally positive. I'm going to go drive one to see how it feels. It has a Tremec 6-speed manual so it should be a blast to drive on curvy roads. Anyway, here is a short write-up:

Its a complete new 2.0 engine
Displacement: 1998cc
Compression Ratio: 9.2:1
Assembly Site: Spring Hill, Tennessee
Configuration: Dual Overhead Camshaft (4 valves per cylinder)
Horsepower/Application:
272 @ 5300 rpm (Cadillac ATS)
Torque:
260 lb-ft @ 2400 rpm (Cadillac ATS)
Features:
Continuously variable valve timing
Twin-scroll turbocharger
Direct injection
Forged steel crankshaft
This is the all-new 2.0-liter turbo. It shares nothing, not even the block, with the 2.0-turbo in the Buick Regal today. Overally, this engine has reduced friction by 16% over the LHU.

Actually the engine in the ATS is not the LNF. Its called the "LTG" and you could call it the next generation of 2.0T in GM's family.
the LTG is in the ATS and Malibu, but only makes 250HP in the Malibu.
There's a lot of confusion with this topic as well concerning the LHU, it has nothing to do with the ATS or malibu... its a different engine, the LHU sits in the regal and verano and makes 250/260HP
.... and can I just say that car is just a god damn blast to drive!

^makes 250 in the malibu. Probably a typo on your part, otherwise theres a new, horendously underpowered turbo malibu haha
The LHU makes 260hp, 295ft-lbs in the Regal GS, but 250hp in the Verano and 220hp in the normal Turbo Regal.

its obviously very similar, it even looks identical lol.
But the hardcore nerds will bash you for suggesting something so crazy.
They have been tweaking the LNF since they designed it in 2007, clearly some changes will be made over the course of 5-6 years.

Yeah, this is the new 3rd Gen Ecotec. It's the first 3rd Gen.
It's got improved knock resistance, higher phasing cam phasers, balance shafts moved down to just above the oil pan to make false knock less likely to be picked up, electronically controlled BPV, variable displacement oil pump, higher flowing ports, inverted tooth timing chain, rubber insulated high pressure fuel rail, etc. I believe future versions of the 3rd Gens will also have variable lift... basically VTEC in addition to cam phasing.
