The upcoming Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing super sedans promise a combination of neck-snapping performance and sumptuous luxury, making for a lust-worthy mix that’s sure to delight fans. As GM Authority was the first to report, both four-doors will debut on February 1st, with pre-orders opening the same day. Reservations will be capped at 250 units per model, making for 500 reservations total. Now, GM Authority has the scoop on what will be included with each of these initial Blackwing sedan reservations.
For starters, each of the first 500 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing models (250 units per model) will include one of the first serial numbers, as well as a certificate of authenticity declaring as such. Given the Blackwing models’ enthusiast-oriented specs and positioning in the Cadillac lineup, the serial numbers and certificate will likely make the top-dog performers more valuable in the future.
What’s more, the first 250 reservations per model will also include a session at the Cadillac V-Performance Academy at the Spring Mountain Resort in Nevada. Located roughly 55 miles west of Las Vegas, the Spring Mountain Resort offers six miles of track in over 50 different configurations, while the Cadillac V-Performance Academy provides high-performance driving instruction to make the most of all those go-faster goodies included with the new Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing.
The last item included in the Blackwing reservations is a “gift.” Although the details of this gift are unclear as of this writing, we imagine that it will be a souvenir similar to what was sent to those who pre-ordered the CT6-V, including a poster and a scale model of the Blackwing engine used in that vehicle.
It’s great to see Cadillac acknowledge customer enthusiasm for the new CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing with these special extras for the first 250 model pre-orders. The stint at the Cadillac V-Performance Academy in Nevada is also a smart move, given the impressive on-track capabilities that both models will offer.
As a reminder, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing will feature an engine similar to the twin-turbo 3.6L V6 LF4 previously used in the Cadillac ATS-V, which produced 464 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will feature an engine similar to the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 previously equipped by the third-generation Cadillac CTS-V, which produced 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque.
We’ll have plenty more to say about the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing prior to the sedans’ debut in February, so stay tuned. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Cadillac CT4 news, Cadillac CT5 news, Cadillac news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

The question I have will you be able to get emplyee pricing?
I imagine that the 250/250 will not qualify for employee pricing. Neither will the first two model years. After that, GM should open it up… pretty much what it did with ATS-V and CTS-V 5 years ago.
How many years have we’ve been reading about an upcoming Cadillac Blackwing CT4-V and CT5-V as there should be a blackout to stories until the cars are ready for production.
It would be nice if they came with the colorful camo wrap to break up the otherwise conservative styling.
They should offer it in a unique color based on their racing heritage.
Like most, I’m a little bit disappointed and how long it takes American manufacturers to put out their best products. I guess I can kind of get it? Bring out the basics, bring out the middle, save the best for last. If I was in chargeThe biggest gun possible and that would wake up the crowd. But what do I know?
Let’s hope it’s not a sketch and letter like they did with the CT6-v to go with the certificate… talk about cheap.
They need to give a free triangle sticker to every purchaser so he can hide that kink in the window.
GM fake Authority. Why won’t you let my reply go through?
Sorry for the bad grammar and misspellings. It’s late and I’m using voice text. It’s easier but, it ruins my messages. All my fault. I should know better.
Sorry for the misspelled words in the bad grammar. It’s late and I’m using voice text. Not a good excuse but, I’m too lazy to type right now pick
This is my forth attempt. Sorry for the misspelled words and bad grammar. I am using voice text because it’s easier and it’s late. Plus, I am too lazy right now. Truth. Let’s see if this one goes through?
GM authority why won’t you let my text go through
It took 6 times?
Super cruise, massaging seats, mapping displayed on the windshield, magnetic ride control, 5-year/100k warranty and support, etc.
Disappointed that the hood doesn’t look anything special compared to the standard ATS. At least in the existing models, you had the vents and a bit of an aggressive look.
