The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is Nucking Futs

Рет қаралды 97,920

Күн бұрын

Cadillac has announced that they are pretty sure they are going to end combustion engine production in the near future. However that doesn't mean they still don't know how to have fun. After driving the insanely fast Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing V8 I decided to take a look at the "baby" version of that car. The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is honestly one of the most surprising cars I've ever driven in the past year. It's turbocharged V6 pulls modern naturally aspired V8 numbers and accelerates like a freight train. While the CT5-V is more of a powerhouse and is still a force on track, the CT4-V feels like a small extremely nimble four door that let's you get away with way too much. The CT4-V Blackwing is miles ahead of the ATS-V, and you should definitely give it a look.

No lift shift is addicting....so is rev match which is essentially the same thing. I remember my first experience with a 2009 Cobalt SS. It took a minute to get used to but it was so addicting being able to pin the throttle while still being able to shift. Didn't have any issues with that gear change lurch either which sucks when you're just getting used to driving a stick too.

I'm currently cross-shopping this with the RS3 and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, and it's a shame how the dealer experience/greed can price out actual enthusiasts. There are dealers in the Mid-Atlantic charging $110k for this, whereas RS3s are being sold at MSRP, and Quadrifoglio at, or slightly below, MSRP. Sure you get a manual here, but Cadillac reliability (especially electronics) is equally questionable as Alfa or Audi, so you're left with driving excitement and collectability/exclusivity, which all three provide. Shame that one gets priced unrealistically due to greed.
