The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing ($73,730 starting in Canada, $62,890 starting in the US) is a 472 horsepower performance sedan with a 3.6 L twin turbo V6 engine and optional 6 speed manual transmission. The CT4-V aims to blend performance with luxury comforts, offering features such as magnetic ride control, Brembo brakes, hands-free Super Cruise and many tech-based safety features. How does the baby Blackwing compare to the stiff competition in the sport sedan category? And how does it perform as a fun daily driver? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

Seems like it’s a perfect balance of luxury and American muscle. I actually like the simplicity of the interior and the sleeper like exterior.

Wish it had American LS instead of V-6 twin turbo. I drove the car for couple of days and while engine is alright, it was biggest disappointment of the car. Weight and size penalty of LS actually doesn't exist

@@racesuey No it exist because Cadillac first created the CTS V-Sport with the LF3. The goal was the create that in between the regular CTS and the full on V to compete with the M lite, S (instead of RS) Audi, and the AMG lite cars. Then, Cadillac took the LF3 and tweaked it some internally with better turbos to create the LF4 for the ATS-V and now the CT4-V. The LF3 died off with the 2019 CTS V-Sport.

Haha thats a big reason a manual 2SS 1le is my dream car. It has insanely high skidpad/cornering grip, fantastic chassis engineering & performance, and its a true drivers car. But I love that they actually went through it, even adding diff & trans coolers (along w/ all the other upgrades) to make it a serious track ready car. Not just an appearance package. But no matter which track it is, the SS & Zl1 1le's always punch far above their price. At Laguna Seca, the stick, 455hp, 3750lb SS 1le is faster than a 730hp, DCT, 3500lb Ferrari F12.. along with many other $150k+ supercars. 🤘 🇺🇸

@@masterkendro if I'm honest, basically everything except the engine, and even that's comparing a 10/10 to a 9.5/10. That, and the M2 is better looking.

Visibility is better, customizability & ergonomics are better, sound system is ~ the same. For me, I also needed a car that could do Family Duties somewhat easily, and the CT4-V Blackwing is *that* car. The Caddy is 95% of the fun of the m2, with so much more practicality. Also, no top speed limiter other than the gearing 😈

That being said, CT4-V's chassis was just touch better, both ride and stability while having decent turn in. You also get actual brake feel and modulation. Also you get better steering feel. Imo, CT4-V BW is much better car and while Quad QV is much more characterful, quality of driving in CT4-V BW is so much better as you apporach limit.

@MattNukem they're track focused sports sedans, a ZR1 is a daily driver if you want it to be. It's a fact the PS4S tire isn't up to par for the car's power. I own a CT5-V Blackwing with a 10 speed and the Cup 2 tires I bought transformed it. I can brake later, accelerate sooner, and hold corners better. An alternate option would be to give it the OEM widebody treatment with 3in wider fenders kinda in the same style as the Corvette Stingray vs Z06. Subtle yet muscular curves that go with the car design. That way you could fit 285w front tires and 335w rears like the Corvette.

The ct4v black wing def competes with the m3 just as the ats v did against the f80. In fact I drove both and decided to get the ata v back against the f80. It handled better and sounded better. The new m3 rwd manual Va ct4 v black wing is a fair comparison even when modding and I’d still choose it over the g series. The driving dynamic is just very different and feels more engaging in the caddy. Yes the interior is nicer on the BMW but it’s also around 20k more when optioned out. For 65-70k it’s one helluva car and once tuned it’s a beast as is the m3.

I drove the old CTS-V back-to-back with the CT6 and the ATS-V on a track, and although the CTS-V was incredibly fast in a straight line, the ATS-V was so much more playful and fun in the corners, it was no contest in which one I'd go back for another lap. I do remember noting a distinct lack of front tire grip, leading me to wish for more front tire, as the push came long before the chassis' limits. I can only imagine the lap time this CT4-V Blackwing would have put down with some stickier track tires like the RS3 and M2 that placed above it.

I realized there are no Mclaren videos in Throttle house. They have the repution of being the best sports cars in production and I would really want to know how it does on the throttle house track.

You said Chassis and Steering, but you did forget the other reasons. Suspension and amazing manual transmission. Maybe losing the footage was a blessing in disguise.

I have a '13 ATS4 Performance 3.6....great chassis, steering and braking...i didnt even like Cadillac till recent. Theyve been doing great work over the past 10 years

I’ve been wanting one of these the first time I saw “Ray Donovan” driving it.

To answer the question from the video, the gear number turns yellow when you have active rev matching on and it’s white when rev matching is off.

Great review. I wonder what happened to the M2C lap time. It seems way too slow compared to Supra an M2CS.

Great car!!!

I think you should redo a lap time for the M2 Competition. I feel like Thomas would get a better time than 1:13.53 now... However, that CT4-V Blackwing seems like a really great car in that segment!

The first throttle house review that I didn’t like. So many backhanded compliments. Plus, You say it’s overpriced then go on to praise it for the rest of the video all the while putting down great numbers at the track.

I sold my 2022 M3 base after a year cause the clutch was so mute. After driving a c7 for so long with a great tremac 7 speed manual, the M3's old ZF gearbox and clutch was just terrible and filled me with regret every time I drove it. I would have loved it ha I gotten the comp with the ZF 8 speed auto. I tried to find a CT4 blackwing to drive recently but dealers are still marking them way up. I ended up buying an IS500 and I adore it, but would have loved to compare it to the CT4.
