To us Malaysians, Cadillac isn’t exactly a household name, but GM’s premium brand has long been a genuine BMW competitor in the United States. And as any car enthusiast will tell you, no self-respecting BMW competitor would be complete without a performance sub-brand – which is just as well, because the V-Series has been a constant thorn in the side of BMW M, with a range of rowdy yet competent super sedans.
The latest model to join the stable is the CT4-V Blackwing, announced alongside the larger CT5-V Blackwing. The cool-sounding name infers a serious amount of extra performance for the M3 rival, brushing aside any lingering doubts surrounding the limp-wristed CT4-V that was shown in 2019.

SHARE THIS ARTICLE The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing achieve an artful balance between form and function.
Descended from the brand’s racing-derived V-Series legacy, the design elements of the new V-Series Blackwing sedans support and complement their track-capable performance, while advancing the V-Series’ motorsports-inspired heritage of styling and enhanced refinement.
“As the ultimate performance versions of our V-Series lineup, the prime directive for their designs was to maintain authenticity and integrity, while also raising the bar,” said Andrew Smith, executive director, Global Cadillac Design. “Everything new and unique on these vehicles was only included if it served a functional purpose, while simultaneously creating a powerful signature look.”
2022 Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing: Hold That EV Order
Talk about whiplash.
To be fair, development lead times are long â almost certainly longer than the time it took GM to come up with its ambitious EV goal. Furthermore, GMâs goal set a target for the dim, distant future, and thereâs still room for high-zoot engines on the marketplace â at least in the short term.
The mills here are a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 for the CT5-V Blackwing and a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 for the CT4-V Blackwing.
Oh, hey #savethemanuals folks, you should take note â a six-speed manual with rev-matching and no-lift shifting is standard. If clutching is too much work for you, a 10-speed automatic with paddle-shifters is available.
Cadillac knows what s coming. Its parent company, General Motors, has committed itself to an all-electric vehicle future starting in 2035. Fortunately, the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, the most powerful sedan in its class, is here right now. Consider it a grand celebration of internal combustion.
