2023 CT4-V Blackwing Exterior
There's no hiding this car's true intentions - the CT4-V Blackwing sedan looks muscular from any angle and downright mean when facing you head-on. Cadillac has always been great at making its fast sedans look aggressive, and the CT4-V Blackwing is proof that it hasn't lost its touch. Standard exterior features include 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a polished Dark Android finish wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance tires, LED headlights with auto high beams, rain-sensing window wipers, and a rear spoiler. The optional carbon-fiber packages add carbon bits such as a front splitter, wheel deflectors, and an extra rear aero spoiler. A power sunroof is available as an option, but you don't have to pay extra for those aggressive quad-exit exhaust outlets. Three IMSA Edition Blackwings feature specific colors for things such as their paint jobs, mirror caps, and brake calipers.

Dimensions
Although Cadillac classifies the CT4-V Blackwing as a subcompact executive sedan, it's significantly larger than segment contemporaries, such as the Audi RS3 and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45. The CT4-V Blackwing rides on a 109.3-inch wheelbase and is 187.6 inches in length. The BMW M3 is less than two inches longer. Excluding the wing mirrors, this Caddy is 71.4 inches wide and is 56 inches tall. This isn't the lightest car of its kind, although that hasn't prevented Caddy from making it sublime to drive. The manual weighs 3,860 pounds and the automatic variant has a curb weight of 3,900 lbs.

Exterior Colors
With such bold styling, the CT4-V Blackwing looks great in any color. Cadillac offers Summit White and Black Raven as no-cost options. For an additional $625, you can coat your CT4-V in exotic colors such as Electric Blue, Blaze Orange metallic, or Wave metallic. More demure options include Rift metallic and the new Midnight Steel metallic and Argent Silver metallic, while Satin Steel metallic and Shadow metallic disappear from the palette this year. The stunning Radiant Red Tintcoat costs $1,225 and replaces last year's Infrared Tintcoat. The Watkins Glen IMSA Edition comes in Electric Blue only and gets Royal Blue brake calipers. The Road Atlanta IMSA Edition comes in painted Rift metallic exclusively, with red mirror caps and side-sill accents. A new color, the matte-finish Maverick Noir Frost, will only be applied to the 99 Sebring IMSA Edition cars, which also get Tech Bronze brake calipers. All the IMSA Edition cars get a red "IMSA" script on the front splitter, special graphics on the hood and bodyside, and carbon-fiber sill extensions.
