Drift Metallic is one of four paint colors ushered in by the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, which features a reworked palette that eliminates a quartet of paint hues from the 2024 lineup in order to make room for the new color options.

Drift Metallic is an extra-charge paint option priced at $625. It is a light metallic blue color with a sheen of light gray. It can be ordered in conjunction with any of the available 2025 CT4-V Blackwing interior colorways except those that are exclusive to the Petit Pataud Special Edition package (RPO code ZLZ), a $25,000 appearance package commemorating a Cadillac race car from the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans.
With seven interior colorways offered on the 2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, this means five can be combined with Drift Metallic. Sky Cool Gray with Santorini Blue accents and Jet Black with Phantom Blue accents are the two colorways exclusive to the Petit Pataud Edition.

Propulsion is provided to the sedan by the powerful twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 LF4 gasoline engine rated at 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque.

A true color for a change. How refreshing.
Agree. Actually, Cadillac has been OK with colors other than whites, blacks and every shade of silver.
