CT4 Blackwing review by The Drive

Awesome to have more options in a really niche market, manual 4 door sedan with over 400 hp. Or hell, a manual sedan in general.

Cadillac did well with the CT4 and CT5 Blackwings. Great looking vehicles inside and outside with plenty of power under the hood.

I agree with the article. I owned a CT4-V Blackwing for 2000 miles, and now have an M4 Comp xD. The Cadillac was superior from a driving enjoyment standpoint, hands down. But lots of other factors go into selecting a car, and the BMW for me wins on many other important points.

If any of these make it out the door close to MSRP, they will be a great car to have! Cadillac really put together a great package. As long as the cooling system can keep up with some light track use, this would be a great one car solution for many enthusiasts.

I like the CT4 a lot too but the CT5-V checks so many boxes that in 2022 it stands out HARD as an incredible car. The fact that you can get them in a manual too with all that power is wild. Really beautifully designed.
