Cadillac’s CT4 is undoubtedly a great entry-level way to enter the Cadillac ecosphere, but for a slightly larger splash of cash, drivers can opt for the CT4-V, a twin-turbocharged 325 horsepower luxury machine with Magnetic Ride Control and Brembo front brakes to complement its spirited powertrain.
Key Takeaways
- The 2024 Cadillac CT4-V slots perfectly in between the regular iterations of the CT4 and the factory hot-rod CT4-V Blackwing.
- A 2.7-liter dual-volute turbocharged engine with 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque provides plenty of passing power.
- Cabin features premium materials, heavily bolstered sport seats, and genuine carbon-fiber accents.
How much horsepower does the 2024 Cadillac CT4-V have?
The 2024 CT4-V features a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with twin turbochargers. It makes 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, which is quite the upgrade compared to 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque from the CT4’s standard engine. As well, the CT4-V gets a 10-speed automatic transmission compared to a less sophisticated 8-speed that’s paired with the base engine.
How fast is the 2024 Cadillac CT4-V?
A few years ago, Car and Driver tested a Cadillac CT4-V and found it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds on its way to a 13.2 second quarter mile. Those are numbers that would embarrass the fastest machines from the golden age of muscle cars, decades ago.
What is the difference between CT4-V and CT4-V Blackwing?
As sporty as the CT4-V already is, the Blackwing version takes performance to the highest level with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine that makes 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. The Blackwing is also one of only a few remaining sports sedans that’s available with an old school and fun to drive six-speed manual transmission. If you don’t feel like shifting your own gears, a 10-speed automatic is also available.
In a Car and Driver test, the CT4-V Blackwing accelerated from 0-60 mph in a rapid 4.0 seconds flat. That publication also praised the CT4-V Blackwing for being more responsive and attuned to the driver than a competing BMW M3.
