Without trying to be biased, it would be fair to say that even among Blackwings there’s competition for attention. And, since the supercharged V8-equipped CT5-V Blackwing is the bigger and punchier brother, it has enjoyed more Cadillac spotlight.
Meanwhile, the 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6-sporting Caddy CT4-V Blackwing must contend with 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft (603 Nm) of torque. Alas, it does have cool stuff going for itself, such as the six-speed Tremec manual transmission (ten-speed auto is optional), zero to 60 mph (96 kph) time of fewer than four seconds (with auto), and more.
These include the quarter-mile time of 12.14s at 117 mph (188 kph) and a maximum speed of 189 mph (304 kph), plus – from now on – a series of 2023 Track Editions. These pay homage to legendary racetracks around the United States, and they also tie a marketing knot to the company’s popularity and success in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
