GM Lansing Grand River plant According to Cadillac, production of the 2024 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Impact Edition will begin in September of the 2023 calendar year. As was the case for the preceding model year, the 2024 Cadillac CT4 will be produced at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

CT4-V houses a 2.7L dual-volute turbocharged I4 engine with 325 horsepower and 380 lb. -ft. of torque, while CT4-V Blackwing offers a 3.6L Twin-Turbo V6 with 472 horsepower and 445 lb. -ft.

Only 99 units will be produced of the three 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition models – Watkins Glen IMSA Edition, Sebring IMSA Edition, and Road Atlanta IMSA Edition, for 297 units overall.

This new pinnacle of performance doesn't use Cadillac's short-lived twin-turbo Blackwing V8 engine and instead uses an updated version of the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 engine from the C7 Corvette Z06. In the CT5-V Blackwing, the LT4 produces 668 horsepower (498 kilowatts) and 659 lb-ft (893 Newton-meters) of torque.

V is short for “Victory,” the name of the Cadillac brand's high-performance division. Notably, the CTS was the first Cadillac to offer a manual transmission since 1988. In this respect, it lives up to the standard set by the Cadillac Catera, a model that was introduced to bring more fun to the Cadillac lineup.

Cancellation. Cadillac intended for the Blackwing V8 engine to be exclusive for its flagship sedan, CT6, and cancelled larger sedan, Escala/CT8. However, the CT6 was a poor seller during its entire model run and was cancelled in February 2020.

Or unleash the power of CT5-V Blackwing's 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, delivering 668 hp and 659 lb. -ft. of torque. It's the highest output engine Cadillac has ever created, and it's built entirely by hand.
