With a high-powered turbocharged heart and a full complement of track-ready components, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing isn’t short on drama. That said, customers can up the ante even further with the new Track Edition models, offered as special, limited-production variants with even more visual punch. Now, GM Authority is spotlighting the 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Watkins Glen IMSA Edition.

Like the other two Track Edition models, production will be limited to 99 units.

The new 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition models got a full reveal in July. Pricing information for the new special edition models is still forthcoming, but, as GM Authority covered recently, pricing for the “standard” 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is now $1,500 more expensive than equivalent 2022 model-year vehicles, starting at $61,890 for models equipped with the GM six-speed manual transmission, and $65,065 for models equipped with the optional GM 10-speed automatic transmission. Both prices include the destination freight charge ($1,395).
Under the hood, the 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition models feature the same twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 LF4 gasoline engine as the “standard” CT4-V Blackwing, rated at 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. The CT4 rides on the GM Alpha 2 platform, while production takes place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.
