2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

The CT4-V Blackwing is part of the CT-V series. It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, summer tires, acoustic laminated glass, and automatic headlights. It also comes standard with body-colored heated and power-adjustable side exterior mirrors and an auto-dimming driver's side mirror. The Blackwing has LED front cornering lights, LED headlights, and LED taillights. A power sunroof is optional, and you can add a rear spoiler and rocker moldings with extensions. The new Track Editions come with unique colors designed to represent the racing circuits they are named after. They include the Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta.

Power for the CT4-V Blackwing comes from a 3.6-iter twin-turbo V-6 gas engine that puts out 472 horsepower and generates 445 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, and it uses either a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is a dream to drive. It has lots of steering feedback and is extremely well-balanced. It comes standard with adaptive dampers, a power braking system that makes it ready to test out its power on the track, and even an electronic limited-slip differential. The Blackwing with the manual transmission will go from zero to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the strong brakes bring it to a stop from 70 mph in just 153 feet.

There's room for two in the CT4-V Blackwing's cabin, and it comes with some added features that you don't get in the regular CT4-V. The layout is the same, but it has carbon-fiber trim, extra support for the front seats, and microsuede inserts. You can get the Blackwing with heated seats, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and an air ionizer. Technology in the CT4-V Blackwing includes an 8-inch touch screen, an eight-speaker stereo, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The available Sun and Sound Package adds a 14-speaker stereo and navigation, and you can also get the Technology Package with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and head-up display. Cadillac also offers a 14-speaker Bose stereo system.

Every Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has several advanced driver aids. These include a forward collision warning system with mitigation, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning with mitigation, and automatic high-beam headlights. Adaptive cruise control is available, and you can get the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. This allows drivers on certain highways across the United States to let the Blackwing take over most of the driving. The Super Cruise 1 Package also comes with a 360-degree surround-view camera system with a top-down view around the car.
