SOLD: President Joe Biden’s 1-of-1 Cadillac ATS-V

Regardless of political beliefs or affiliations, there’s inherent value in owning a car that was once wheeled by a famous figure. President Joe Biden undeniably got one thing right when he spec’ed out his 2018 Cadillac ATS-V sedan, and, on February 21, 2024, the celebrity car sold by auction on Cars and Bids to user “RetroRaj” for $77,776.

A true 1-of-1 rarity, Biden’s menacing Raven Black ATS-V was finished with a beautiful Kona Brown interior – and it’s reported to be the only one of its kind outfitted in the color combination, specifically selected by Biden himself.

With only 15,856 miles on its odometer, this rear-wheel-drive Caddy’s 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine is rated to produce 464 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. Combined with the ATS-V’s smaller size and lighter weight (as compared to its CTS-V big brother), the nimble car is a true performance enthusiasts’ dream with great handling, big Brembo brakes, and so much more.

Although Biden’s ATS was coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, there’s no shame in foregoing shifting gears manually as the Cadillac easily rivals the performance of BMW’s legendary M3 and M4 as well as Mercedes-Benz’s AMG C 63.

Additional accouterments include a slick set of Blackwing 18-inch CT4-V Tech Bronze wheels, carbon fiber engine cover, Rennick Performance front grille and rear bumper trim, blacked out badges and emblems, Sapele wood accents and semi-aniline leather interior upholstery, suede microfiber steering wheel and shift knob, Bose surround sound system, Luxury and Safety and Security packages, Magnetic Ride Control, magnesium paddle shifters, and plenty of other bells and whistles.

Whether “RetroRaj” keeps it parked and pristine or decides to daily drive the previously Presidential Cadillac, there’s no doubt his newly acquired “Biden-built” 2018 ATS-V will give him plenty of barroom bragging rights for years to come.
