The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is Nucking Futs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- 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.

So..I have to ask.
Would you give the V6 car even a chance? Let me know!
Id give THIS V6 a chance 🤩🤩🤩
This isn’t your typical ricer v6 Camaro or mustang lol. Of course!
Good point
Yeee
Heck yea. Im hoping it does not appreciate so I can pick one up in 1-2 years.
I’m old enough to remember manual being the only option for sports cars, not to mention way faster and more fuel efficient. It’s crazy how the DCT has changed the industry.
Yup now nun of those things are true lol
Yeah now a standard sporty torque converter ZF8 is faster and more efficient than manuals are lol
Except a lot of companies are leaving the dct.
What’s a dct
@@JameGoFast27 dual clutch transmission, it’s able to be in 2 gears at once and make near-instant shifts
These cars are so awesome. This would be a perfect family car. Too dealers are charging 30-40K over MSRP.
Is the dealer mark ups worldwide or just a U.S. thing (not specifically Cadillac but all brands)????
I found out that in some European countries, mark ups are illegal. lol
Can confirm ridiculous mark ups. Was looking at the ct5v.
Fr my dream car is a CT5 Blackwing but those dealer mark ups ain’t it😭
Markups are the norm now...
I know nowadays, autos are faster, but there’s something so visceral about banging gears in a high performance car. I think I’d actually opt for the manual in this one. Great review!
OH MAN I NEVER THOUGHT ID FALL IN LOVE WITH AN AMERICAN CAR SO QUICKLY
These blackwings are my favorite american car right now, hands down.
Dude I want it! I'm a V8 guy and I can even say that thing sounds sick for a v6
My dad was a Caddy man. He had so many different Cadillacs. Ambulance, Camper, Flower car, Hearse, 2 chopped top Eldorados, Pimp Mobile. He even had a Volkswagen wagon with a Caddy motor and Eldorado drive train in the rear. He'd love this thing
I'm not a GM guy at all, in fact I generally avoid them, but I want this car!
The cobalt SS had no lift shift too. GM has had it around for a while
My first brand new was a 06 Cobalt sssc, loved that car, pulled pretty good for back then
Only the 08-10 turbo models had it though.
The stage 3 GM tune gave the car a lunch control as well, just needed that up grade
@@willyswheelsg70modding99 the SS/SC never had launch control. None of the Stage kits included that. Only the '08-10 SS/TC has launch control and NLS.
I'm pretty sure it did dude, I'll look it up and get back to you tho
My manual review loaner arrives tomorrow. Stoked to check this out. (Although I am a touch biased, My wife’s daily is a non-V ‘13 ATS 3.6 and it’s a severely overlooked sedan.)
Despite my enthusiasm, I still wish Caddy used the LT1.
The 3.6 ATS are actually very fun cars. Especially if you get a 6 speed. Overlooked indeed, most guys who want a Z don't consider the V6 Camaro or ATS which is are arguably nicer (assuming you get an ATS) and just as fast if not faster...
@@R3AL-AIM the V6 Camaro is garbage lol
An absolutely incredible machine that I'd love the chance to FULL SEND around a track and especially daily one. It's a tough decision between this, the CT5-V and the new Nissan Z!!!
Huh? One is like double the price of the other…
Daily the ct4v
How are you gonna compare a Z and ct4v to a ctv5 ct5v is wayyyyyy more hell the ct4v is most likely 10k-15k more than the z
I am a GM guy & heart (have a crazy built C5Z in garage & have had 4xV8 GM pickup trucks + GTO, G8GT, Grand Prix Turbo etc) but my current DD is a Raptor & I LOVE the HO3.5EB ttV6- it’s a great engine, I’m wondering if this caddy engine has similar American character….I need to drive it, not sure I can get on board w/ a turbo V6 GM engine again it’s a been a long time since they’ve been known for building one. But this car may be my next addition….wife says 3 cars is my limit, it’s either this, an M2 competition, subie STi or a Civic-R, I want a 4 door performance car I can put my kids in
Flat foot shifting well done gm
I really like these but the market kills me! These shouldn’t be going for nearly 100k but they are!
That hurts my brain. So silly.
You can build one off the website. It’ll just take a while to get. Be patient. Don’t buy from the stealerships 🙄🤦♂️
For $100k? How much is the msrp?
@@nateg5915 it’s supposed to msrp at 59k
Look for a 2018 Fusion Sport. I bought mine as a year older and it was a gift. It smokes Cadillacs and needs no options.
When you see companies putting out cars like this it's because they can't do it anymore. So it's their way of giving the public by their best before things change..Ppl really should buy the Blackwing..👍🏽🏁
I’m just imagining a G8 version of this. It would be insane.
Check out the CT5-V Blackwing :)
@@Schmeeek I’ve seen that. Those are even crazier
I had one- G8 GT w/ DOD delete cam, headers, intake, ran It w/ studded blizzaks in the winter
@@MS-mr4zm I have a G8 GT. Just exhaust, intake, and gears rn. Can’t wait to cam mine! I’m waiting for lifter failure before that.
What does it mean G8?
awesome seeing you having so much fun driving it. Love these reviews. This CT-4 Blackwing is sick
If I remember right, the 08 cobalt SS turbo was one of the first gm cars to have flat foot shifting.... No lift shift and launch control if I recall...I mean 2008... 14 years ago...it was such a great car... suspension tuned at Nuremberg ring....
Looks like the General Motors Holden Commodore VF sedan, as made in Australia until late 2017.
Fitted with 3.0 & 3.8 litre V6 and 6.2 litre V8 engines. Some V8s were fitted with supercharger.
The farts from the flat foot shifting 😂
I’m on my second one (I traded the A10 for a 6MT Road Atlanta version) and i couldn’t be happier. The transmission on this car is the best stick shift I have EVER driven. This car is so underrated. Non-car people have no idea what this is all about, shoot, some car-people don’t even realize how phenomenal it is.
My 2009 Cobalt SS Sedan came with no lift shift it is awesome I don't loose boost between shifts!!
Love what Cadillac doing performances wise this is just beyond my price range but I am in the market for a nice user ATS-v sedan
Don't do it man the transmissions and differentials are terrible!!! Don't believe me just do some research and look at the depreciation of these sadly gorgeous cars.
@@kevymauricio3293 damn really I never looked that deep into it I just thought it’s made by GMC it should be reliable or at least better then getting a M3 lol well guess I’m back to the drawing board
@@GamingWitRad if you’re looking to get an ATS-V you’ll want one that’s not a 2016. Ive seen the 2016s getting a lot of complaints with the screen going out and timing chain causing issues. If you can find something that’s a late 2017 or newer you should be golden. I got my 2018 ATSV back in October and so far I’ve loved it and have had no issues.
I’m just waiting for ATS-V prices to go down. They were in the 40s last year and went super high lately.
I love my 23 CT4V BW. Mine is Raven with black interior and the TR6060. So much fun to drive and this thing GETS!!! I named it Menace because it's a menace to society.
I'm pissed we can't get these in Europe.. Would trade my M2 in for this without a thought
I wish I could still use the No-lift Shift in my Cobalt SS. Tuner recommended not using once tuned and beyond stock power levels. It feels so wrong but once you rewire your brain a little it's so fun.
I don’t know man, fbo, tune, e85.. 620+ wheel hp😳
You say it's a future collector car, but honestly any vehicle built in 2022 is a collector car with how messed up the market is thanks to the chip shortage and....that other thing
Really cool that the Cadillac team added the fart feature @4:21. I'm sold
Perfect color on this channel
The subtle canards on the front are such a nice aggressive touch
It it its, a MANUAL, WITH DSG FARTS, because Cadillac KNOWS WE WANT FLAT FOOT SHIFTING
Properly engineered rev hang. I absolutely will not flat foot shift any car. This is the first car ever that I would enjoy flat footing and making it sound better than DSG farts. This car is going to be fun on the strip!
Ah. The "throwback" intro. I dig.
don’t forget the Dark Emerald Frost color option, gets a lotta looks
So glad to see the music intros back! Dope cut Dude!
Hell Yeah!!!! Thank you.... Cadillac
Even a used one.... I'm trying to get one....Now my question?? GM : why was this formula couldn't be duplicated for Buick???
Such a good looking car
Dawg your flat foot shifts sounds like an automatic damn 😳😳
I wish people would make these sell out everywhere to let manufactures know there's still a market for these vehicles
god i want this car
shoutout to Cadillac for building a modern Grand National when Buick wouldn’t.
My coffee dropped out of the coffee machine when the music dropped
Cadillac rep: MAKE SURE YOU TALK ABOUT THE GRILLE DESIGN
This is what the HSV range should have become in Aussie
I know several people with the ATS-V (which is this same exact engine platform except GM didn’t lock out the cm tuning capability) and they are pushing 600 to 700 RWHP out of a v6 bone stock motor and some even on stock turbos
That's actually very impressive.
@@auto_kevin9731 my brothers car is doing 602 on e85 stock turbos, Catless downpipes. 6.89 60-130 on a draggy
@@auto_kevin9731 oh yeah and it’s an ATS-V
@@mr.lowslow7702 Now I'm tempted to get an ATS-V. Can't say when but I'm tempted.
@@auto_kevin9731 do it or get the Ct4-V Black Wing. Those things are a future classic. It’s as much performance as a c8 corvette yet it’s a Cadillac that’s 4 door and doesn’t look like a supercar from the outside. I read an article where they outlined all the reasons and it’s pretty sound logic. The c8 current value is hyper inflated and it’s not gonna be worth that much in a few years.
They're available in a great 10 speed auto as well. I have one!
Does it shift fast?
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 Love this CTS V
Its a ATS V actually.....NOT a CTS V but both are equal in terms of 0-60 which is really all that matters beings BOTH cars can go over 200MPH which 99% of people are NEVER ever going to reach.
All GM performance cars have had no lift shift for a long time. I think the first was the C5 Z06.
First Corvette to have no lift shift was C7 on 2014.
@@DuBstep115 negative ghost rider. C5 started it. My 5th Gen ZL1 has it stock too. A lot of GM performance cars have had it
Even the 08-09 Cobalt SS had NLS.
@@terrabnadia1793 BS, I had C5 Z06 and it didn't have it. C7 was first Corvette to have NLS except ZR1 in 2010.
@@mattthew2020 Because it's boosted, N/A cars didn't have this feature until 2014 from GM
bro ive been waiting for someone to make a video about this car man hell yea!!!
Have not started watching the video yet but my dyslexia definitely got me starting lol
My cousin just bought a CT4 Blackwing, and I'm gonna see it and probably drive it next weekend! Wish we could take it to VIR.
Forgot to mention the third Blackwing. CT6-V 4.2 liter twin turbo V8.
The v6 motor in newer camaro’s is better than people think they can make a lot of power on a stock block but sadly you don’t see people make them make a lot of power which id love to see
you know he likes it when he adds music
Wish every manual had no lift shift cause damn imagine how much better racing would be
As a young person who doesn't have 100 grand laying around I'd happily drive a ct4v provided I can get one lightly used for a decent price in a couple years, but my wife said that I've bought too many cars over the last two years and that Im not allowed to get another until we replace hers
I honestly reached out to my Caddy dealer a month ago about his allocation for this. I want this SO badly. I was thinking "can I give up my Jag for this".....I swear it is a tough decision as I'd have to give up one of my cars to get this. Cars I already love. Then last week I saw the new 2023 Nissan Z. Uhhhh.....400hp twin-turbo V6 , RWD, manual, and hot looks for $40K to start??? I can have that AND keep the Jag. Oh boy....
3:50
Not unless you get that perfect launch ...
This is a good cool car
5:00 you like that blackwing BBW
And there are many cars with that platform from the Ats-v that are 9 second cars in the 1/4
Wot shifting Is so underrated to me. Especially if it's supercharged or turbo. Stay in boost aka power and side step the clutch for that feeling you can only get from not having any mercy on a car lol.
I love this car the only thing i do not really like is how the back looks
I got BW...the auto is a bit quicker than the 6 speed and the paddle shift is on point
I’ve had both and although I agree with you, the 6MT (my current ride) is much more fun and engaging.
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.
Love the screen angled up
The exhaust sound when flat foot shifting sounds like an error message...still a sweet car though.
THIS v6 is by far the BEST sounding V6 in the world its NON DEBATABLE!!! Plenty of BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and hellcat owners ALL over youtube have agreed as well..... YOU do realize that theres a button you push to make the exhaust silent or loud right? LOL.
They did this on purpose cause its a luxury car and a sports car in one.... This way you can be respectful to the karens when doing cold start ups.... 🤪
@@EliteOnTheBeat not saying this engine doesn't have a great exhaust note...just has a funny error type sound while doing flat foot shifting 🥴
Weird it sounds like a DSG fart ala VW
@@EliteOnTheBeat why are you even mentioning bmw and the hellcat when they don't use v6 engines lol?
Awesome video my guy
That looks like VIR, best track ever!
6:03 “Yeeesssss” *Jeremy Clarkson moment*
Wait… I’ve done no lift shift on my old manuals when driving aggressively. To me it personally feels like they dumbed it down with that feature. They seem like a nice car though!
Til this day it blows my mind that my 2009 Cobalt SS Turbocharged came from the factory with No Lift Shift and Launch Control when you would press T/C twice enabling COMPETITIVE MODE. Paired with bolt ons and a tune she was pretty fast imo.
Ofc it would've been lovely to have the V8 from the Corvette(we all know it'll fit) but I actually like the V6! The car is very cool on its own
Gunnn mettaalll,me looking at my pistol,yeah thats black alright
Would take me so long to get used to not having to lift my foot off the gas
Imagine getting used to Flat foot shifting, getting into another car and accidentally destroying clutch and/transmission. lol
Its not that hard i flatfootshift in my subie all the time
That car is freaking awesome!!! I want them seats for my 15 Mustang GT!!! haha
Yessir! Bringin back those fire music intros!
I like my little v6 cts. It doesnt have a twin turbo but it was also only $3,000. So far it's sitting at 205,000 miles the only real problem I've had is when I did donuts in the middle of the road the rear end said good bye
That’s how we used to shift in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s actually called speed shifting.
Ehh kinda different
Been called power shifting since the 60s
My new favorite car
I'd grab one and swap the double turbos for a giant single if I could afford to lol
Since I have my ss…I wouldn’t mine a v6 black wing, the performance is there ,sounds good n would break many hearts at stop light
Looks like caddy is following the Euro boys with the V6 biturbo
Would anyone be able to tell me what the intro song was? David, would you be willing to put the song names in the description? Thank you in advance!
Is that the camera rattling around that I hear or is it part of the interior?
CT4 IS HELLA COOL
how fitting, that dude in blue had the blue car to review
Far as I can gather the last time I looked, the Cadillac had Holden's Australian alloytec V6 just twin turbo on top.
Nice Ford Focus Rally Sport RS with a back seat.
If you tried to shift as fast in any Bimmer, you would end up paying through the nose to replace your gearbox due to broken synchros (and no in BMW you cannot fix individual synchros, so if even a single one goes bad, it is time to fork out $$$$$ for the whole transmission).
I absolutely love the ats and ats v I really wasn’t sure about the ct4 specially since they dropped the ltg 272hp and put newer turbo 4 cylinder at 237hp. I get it was for gas ratings but come on man?!?
Agreed. Refused the 2.0 for the wife's ATS replacement. But they offer the 2.7 which moves out quite well. Been happy with it.
Hear me out...this car is the best ever to buy with a blown engine and swap a high-revving N/A LS. The exhaust is pretty good for a V6 but a bit confusing and certainly unique.
Needs a overhead cam engine not a boring old pushrod In my opinion
Love this car. Not paying those ridiculous fees though.
5:57 I didnt know what you mean til i got mine broken in and actually hit the upper rpms and the boost just smacks you in the face
The lights front and back remind me of the Lexus LC500
Cadillac defiantly didn't pay him for this episode...lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo
