Overview
2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Edition is named after different tracks visited by the IMSA SportsCar Championship. This includes Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta. Last year when Cadillac introduced the CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing, the automaker named the first 250 units of both as V-Series Collector’s Series. Now, the American automaker is expanding the V-Series Collector’s Series with the CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions. This honors Cadillac’s successes in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.

What’s New?
The Sebring IMSA Edition honors the Twelve Hours of Sebring in Florida; which Cadillac won in 2021 and 2022. The car sports a minimal look with a dark Maverick Noir Frost paint job, as the race ends in the dead of night. This minimal color is coupled with Tech Bronze brake calipers and the interior accents. Which is either Signet or Sky Cool Gray. While the Watkins Glen IMSA Edition features the same interior trim but sports Electric Blue paint with Royal Blue brakes. Remembering the light blue guardrails marks the boundaries of the iconic track. The Road Atlanta IMSA Edition sports a Rift metallic paint job, emulating the “overall elevated environment of Road Atlanta” and “the sophistication of the city.” The interior trim is either Adrenaline Red or Sky Cool Gray accents.

Along with all the special colors, the Track Editions also add the CT4’s optional carbon fiber packages as standard. Along with the carbon-fiber front seatbacks. The transmission is a standard six-speed manual or optional 10-speed automatic, the manual cars receive a 3D-printed medallion on the shift knob. The plaques on the B-pillar and the bottom of the steering wheel highlight the serial number to verify the authenticity of the Track Edition. The vehicle also wears an IMSA logo on the front splitter and rear spoiler, and a checkered graphic pattern on the hood, and doors.
