2023 CT5-V Blackwing vs. 2023 CT4-V Blackwing

Two new Cadillac V-Series high-performance models are on their way to Scott Cadillac. The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and the 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are legends in the making, combining the luxury you’d expect from the brand with horsepower and performance that are nothing short of awe-inspiring. If you’re unsure which model to lease or purchase, the following guide from Scott Cadillac will help you choose.

Engine
Besides their size differences, the most significant difference between these cars lies in their powertrains. The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V-6 that sends 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic. The Cadillac CT4-V can reach 60mph from a dead stop in just 4 seconds.

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing packs a 668-horsepower wallop courtesy of a 6.2-liter V8 engine. Here also, rear-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission are standard; this combination rockets to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds; the available automatic transmission shaves a further two-tenths of a second off that time.

Exterior
The attractive exterior design of both vehicles disguises some clever performance enhancements. The drag coefficient is low thanks to a slippery silhouette, plus a mesh grille design that directs air to the radiator, cooler, and airflow ducts. The front splitter and rear spoiler combine to reduce lift and generate traction.

Both cars also offer carbon fiber exterior packages. Both contribute to these vehicles’ gorgeous appearance while keeping excess weight to a minimum.

One difference with the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a wheel design engineered for endurance. Made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, they reduce unsprung mass for increased performance and come in various designs and finishes.
