A little while back, we shared a rendering of a theoretical Cadillac CT4-V coupe we had put together. We thought the compact CT4 sedan’s shape lent itself rather well to a two-door, so we took it one step further and rendered up a Cadillac CT4-V convertible, as well.
Just like the coupe, the front and rear of our imaginary CT4-V convertible is the exact same as the production CT4 you can buy at dealers today. The convertible loses two doors, however, making for a long rear decklid and plenty of space for the back seat passengers.
The CT4-V convertible also retains all the sporty touches from the CT4-V sedan, such as the dark-colored alloy wheels, colored brake calipers, upturned rear lip spoiler and large exhaust tips. As a reminder, the standard CT4-V is powered by GM’s turbocharged 2.7L L3B four-cylinder engine, which is good for 320 horsepower and 369 pound-feet torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels, though all-wheel drive is available as an option.
We should point out that Cadillac has no plans to produce either a CT4-V coupe or convertible, so the chances of you ever seeing such a vehicle at a dealership are quite slim. That said, Florida-based company Drop Top Customs offers a convertible conversion for the old Cadillac ATS and ATS-V coupe, so all hope is not lost for Cadillac fans who want a modern-day convertible from the American luxury brand.

One would think that because the Cadillac CT4 shares the basic chassis as the Chevrolet Camaro that building a CT4 convertible should be easy; but apparently, Cadillac had to do a lot of changes which makes building a convertible impossible.
The rendering is sweet.
its ridiculous.. just make a convertible out of it and price it reasonably, NOT Mercedes priced… this company stinks…
If they made this car then I would not have an E550 AMG Coverable. I looked For a Cadillac first but no RWD 4-seater 2-door V8 and the twin turbos on the Mercedes is just extra that I really did not care about…but like them now…
Love it, and as an XLR owner, would be really nice to own a Cadillac convertible with a back seat and a trunk. The customers are encouraged by such renderings
Looks like a rental car in southern California,
It’s a big market…
Does GM really need this car ???
I am currently driving my 5th Corvette convertible.
I paid a $500 deposit for a 2020 Corvette C8 convertible. I cancelled it when I was told there would be a “market adjustment” of $10-$20,000 in addition to the MSRP.
I want to buy a new luxury convertible. My preference is for a four seater luxury convertible.
I would definitely buy a Cadillac CT4 or CT5 convertible.
However, I’m now shopping BMW, Mercedes and Audi convertibles.
Believe it or NOT! The CT4-V is looking very similar to the audi’s convertible design!
But it’s a glorified Buick
……….
very nice, build it and in limited quantity to encourage Caddy fanatics.
However, stop sharing platform with other GM vehicle like Chevy. Exclusivity will lead you to be considered “World-Class American Luxury brand”
THAT IS ONE SWEET LOOKING BOAT! I WOULD PREFER CADILLAC DOING IT ON THEIR PRODUCTION LINE AND NOT AN AFTER MARKET CONVERSION. WE NEED SOMETHING OTHER THAN THESE UGLY 4 DOOR SEDANS AND STATION WAGONS. I SURE WISH THEY WOULD COME OUT WITH THEIR XLR VERSION OF THE CORVETTE. ANYTHING OTHER THAN UGLY AND BORING CADILLACS LIKE NOW. ALSO SOMETHING LONG, LOW AND WIDE. I NEED 2 NEW CADILLACS AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE NOW THAT I AM GOING TO BUY. ALSO SEE THAT THE 0 TO 60 IS LOWER THAN ANY COMPETITOR WITHOUT PAYING SOME RIDICULOUS UP CHARGE. IN GENERAL, CADILLAC WAKE UP. HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO HEAR THE COMPLAINTS AND LOSE SALES TO THE COMPETITION? THE LAYOUT OF THE INTERIORS ARE FINE, BUT THE GLITZ OF THE COMPETITION IS MISSING. IN THE OLD DAYS THERE WAS NOTHING FANCIER OR FASTER WITH AS MANY FEATURES AS THE CADILLAC. NOW IT IS JUST OK, NOT SPECIAL.
Nice looking…but they’d be lucky to sell 2,000 a year.
GM / Cadillac is not in the business of offering “Halo” cars either.
I wouldnt say they’re not in the business of offering Halo Cars, they’re just not very good at it… they ought to offer Halo Cars and special versions of their line up…
I had an ATS and loved it. If Cadillac offered a CT4 convertible I would buy one in a heartbeat. The one pictured above just makes me want one so much, it’s so sweet! It would look great in wine or dark green metallic with a beige top… They need to offer one to bring younger buyers in to compete with BMW, Mercedes, and Audi…
