- 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing review by The Straight Pipes. The Cadillac CT4V Blackwing is putting down 472 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque from a 3.6L Twin Turbo V6. At $86,398 CAD, would you take it over the BMW M2, BMW M3, Mercedes-AMG A45, Mercedes-AMG CLA45, Mercedes-AMG C63S, Audi RS3, Audi RS5 Sportback?

When Jake says he prefers M2 over the 4V Blackwing - is he referring to Competition or CS M2? Cuz it's nearly impossible to find a CS for under $100k US. I have a M2Comp & really want a car w/ adaptive suspension. Is that CT4V Blackwing (fully loaded) w/ MT & carbon package a good enough option? Or should I keep saving up for Cayman GTS or that lovely new Lotus Emira?
i see it has the bmw fart in between shifts
Nevermind, I watched to the very end & your comparing M2Comp not the M2CS...
Wow, took long enough fellas
Jacob with another new Rolex! Looks good man! CZcams life is good!
I think that since the internal combustion engine is about to come to an end in cars, every company should just go over the top and build nothing but insane cars before the end.
Combustion will end in like 150 years not any time soon
Not a chance. They'll be around long after we're all dead. Don't believe the EV hype, just trying to sell you something
@@fatoni698 Well no, in the UK alone, after 2035 all new cars sold in the UK must be full EV, ICE are no longer permitted. Also hybrids only from 2030.
@@NickLiang They'll find a reason to postpone it, then postpone it again, then rewrite it so it has exceptions. It won't happen in our lifetime.
@@arvins.7064 there will certainly be more EVs around than before but you'll always be able to buy new gasoline powered cars.
Honestly at this point hearing "I'm Yuri , I'm Jacob We're going for a drive" puts a special feeling in my ears.
These two are an amazing dynamic in car reviews. Always excited when you see them in the feed!
I love these guys, but, "I'm Thomas", "and I'm James!" puts a special feeling in a more sensitive place.
For some reason I like to hear Jacob say his name first, its bothering me they switched it lol
I hear that every time I push the engine on button. This isn’t a joke I need help 😭
Both the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing are amazing cars
Glad that Cadillac finally made them
No Japanese can match it!
@Progressives Suck Does anyone care? It still has the twin turbo V6 and supercharged V8 respectively and a manual transmission that’s all that matters
@@normt430 don’t know about that the new IS500 is a great car for the money
@@basithph8958 and it’s interior is like 6 years old.
@@basithph8958 that is all Lexus has and it is 200 hp and trq less than CT5-V Blackwing. The lowly CT4-V 2.7T almost matches it in torque. This segment doesn't want the playing card in the bicycle spokes noise pumped through the speakers on a V8!
I have a 2023 CT4-V Blackwing and LOVE IT! Despite what this video says, there is NO discernible turbo lag. It just feels and acts like one big engine. Amazing handling and braking with Cadillac luxury too!
Do you have the 10spd auto? Does it shift fast?
@daboxer181 Hi, yes I have the 10 speed auto, although I have had nunerous manual vehicles and motorcycles in my life. As you will see if you do any research, the auto is about. 4-.5 of a sec quicker in 0-60, and has benefits in the quarter too. It shifts EXTREMELY fast, especially in V and Track modes. With the paddle shifters, I don't miss a manual. My friend has a manual CT4-V BLACKWING and the spacing between gears is pretty substantial. I drove it and liked it, but the power delivery with the auto is so much better IMHO. Plus, I want to have both hands on the wheel when I'm trying to control something that is almost 500 HP I'm the size of a Honda Civic. It's a monster !
@@scottandrews4822 I'm just tired of driving stick in traffic. I want to play F1 driver and put it in auto to just drive and chill. Just trying to get feedback to see if the 10spd is snappy! Thanks for the feedback. I'm dying to get a white Blackwing with carbon package and sunroof
Impressive car for the money! Always loved how these performance caddy sedans have looked too
my favorite sedans
Around my area, can’t find one less than 75k. 😭😭😭😭😭
@@closg9309 ya it's nice but I would rather get a hellcat charger for the price like a 2019 one
I used Google to search "Is Cadillac a reliable vehicle." It is ranked 26 out of 32. So why should I buy a Cadillac?
@@mortgageapprovals8933 the basic vehicles can be questionable but generally the performance ones are reliable and better
I’ve had a Cadillac v wagon for the past 6 years and it’s been very reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Cadillac
Right before things go full electric, Cadillac finally nailed these cars they've been trying to perfect since the original CTS debuted or even Catera if you want to go a bit further back.
The original cts was just as good as the current one relative to it's competitors. It always had a better engine, better handling, worse interior.
@@mitchellsteindler Exactly right
Fully electric not going to happen
@@invalidusername_5101 Let's hope so!
@@invalidusername_5101 It is going to happen, it's just going to take a long time for it to happen.
I'd go with the Cadilac CT4 V Blackwing all day every day. :) Great Review, Yuri and Jacob.
Sounds good for a v6
Recently i’ve been considering the blackwing models. I hope people buy them.
Dayum that Cadillac looks amazing
Alright, we going to need names of these opener tracks. .
Sincerely,
A synthwave fan.
Also that new hellcat video did not disappoint. All the WEEEEEEEEEEEE I needed!
I hope you guys never break-up lol. You guys are one of my favorite automotive journalists!
I love this insane 4K quality of these videos!!
You guys had me fooled, at 4:30 I thought that was Yuri because of the super short dad shorts but it’s actually Jakub. Bravo!
Great episode! Another AMAZING car from Cadillac. Two for two! Bravo to Cadillac for giving us another amazing manual! All electric cars are automatics in practice which is why manuals like this are going to just skyrocket in price in the future. If you are in a position to get one of these beauties, get it. If you already have one, don't sell it and pass it down in your family. Your descendants would be glad you did.
I just gotta say the soundtrack y'all have at the start is amazing. Keep it up
Miami Vice vibe! Crockett and Tubbs. you decide which one looks better with padded shoulders
Yes! Been waiting for my favorite channels to review this car ❤
Love these 2 blackwings. A great sendoff for the ICE. If I was in the market for a new car right now it would 1000% be one of these in the green.
Been waiting for this vid. Thanks guys!
Thanks for all the great reviews guys !!!
Best car review channel!!
Were I to get one, I'd go with the 4V over the 5V I think. Cadillac actually made the V6 sound pretty good, too. Though I agree that the back end is a little wonky with maybe too much trunk.
Glad to see Cadillac still using stick shift on performance car
That exhaust though!! Snap, crackle, pop, Rice Krispies!!!
Man, was waiting for this video!
Hahahaha!! Rookie mistake at the end! Love that you kept that in the video. Cheers guys!
Good job guys, always great reviews. Keep it up 👍
At 0:21 and 0:23 the music and exhaust sound were really in sync. Great editing
Cadi is keeping it really classic rare to see a good manual shift in performance cars now
Yes, i just bought a 2023 CT4-V BLACKWING and it came with three manuajs - the owner's manual, a V Blackwing "differences" manual, and one that pertains to the 2023 differences. Also, I have had Cadillacs before and the service appintments are MUCH better and more luxury oriented than other GM cars
If I had the money I'd literally import this car from the US all the way to Europe. LOVE THIS.
Great race track footage … review on point as always….
The track footage looks so cool!
I’m impressed with the torque 👏🏾
Glad to see there are still a few real cars guys left at GM for making this car a reality. Keep the Stick alive.
glad they made this to carry on the torch of the ATS-V
This thing crackles and pops insane!!! 🔥
I bet the guys either got up too early or that their kids didn’t sleep well, or both! Still I’m going to give you some love, as I really enjoy your content, guys!
Great review fellas, thanks.
Syncing the exhaust with the music was a nice touch
The best looking Cadillac!
great video
This thing surprised me. Wow, killer car.
Epic track footage! Please release track outtake video!!
Looks better than an m2 or m3 or m4 ... It's beautiful. Even the back it grew on me
cadillac the king is here
Stop teasing me😭 I have a 2013 Cadillac ATS and this car would be a dream come true
For the fact that it's a manual I can live with that! Even though I prefer the v8 black wing
Really like how it looks like the V3 with the side vent would’ve been cool to see bigger ones on the V6
I was excited to go test drive this, then the local dealership said that they had already placed an order for 9 automatics and 1 manual that had already sold.
the dripping on the leg is hilarious, but only because it also happens in my 2012 chev malibu.
It's for extra cooling and hydration!
yeeeaaa first hour!!! love the content with the manuals!!!
I truly wish this car wasn’t ugly. From a performance aspect, it’s so awesome!
I traded a 911 for a 4 Blackwing last week and quite happy.
As a current f80 m3 comp manual owner, I think this will be my next purchase
I love the channel guys
I have a regular 2016 ATS with the Tremec 3160 from the Mustang GT350 and Mach1, should I buy one of these as an upgrade? Old Cue is getting laggy especially connecting to Car play and the seats don't really hold you in place. Are there any downsides to upgrading from the ATS to a CT4V blackwing manual.
Right now, nothing is better than M2 CS, that car is just piece of art in my opinion, having said that, these cars are awesome too, i like CTV blackwing more
I can't get past the rear pillar on the CT5 - this thing looks much better.
This would be my pick for car of the year.
3:33 You really nailed it with this one
You guys have to run into "James and Thomas" pretty often, lol
Your channels frequently post the same exact vehicles review within hours to days of each other. I hope you guys get along, I like and follow both channels 👊👍
Just some good ol' Canadian boys
That occurs when a company has an embargoes. Which means, you cannot post the review before the date that they specified. So, typically you will see multiple review videos of the same product posted around the same time frame.
Yes!!!! A straight pipes/throttle house collab would be amazing
They aren't fans of each other
czcams.com/video/gGOq9ORyI9w/video.html
The collab already exists with Thomas czcams.com/video/Wpl6x3gIuz4/video.html
Compared to a lot of the competition, this car looks sick
Caddy hasn’t sold its soul yet it stayed true to its core
Amazing that they made this with a manual. I will say though I wish Cadillac also made non sports performance cars that just focused on comfort and elegance like they use to in the 90's and prior.
@hatersgotohell The days of floaty "luxury" are gone, thank God. These days, more beauty, practicality, and performance is in the Cadillax line with MUCH greater reliability, safety, and fuel economy to boot!
It looks very similar to the CT5-V. And it’s a good looking car.
I love this car in red!
I'm considering buying a 2022, is there much changes for the 2023 that deem that the year to buy?
Did you guys do a visor test? or I may have just missed watching it?
A seriously good looking car. I LOVE orange cars
Cadillac is recovering from the mess that has been the 2000’s for them,wish I could say the same for Buick.
Great Video. 👍🏻
First the GMT Master II, now a DateJust? I see the Rolex collection is growing Jakub! I’m diggin it!
Still have all of them
Love the review! 1. It’s a Cadillac! 2. You guys can drive it,and know what you’re talking about.3.Youre Canadian! Have a CT6 now and love it! Just wondering what’s next? Keep up the great work!
The truck footage was epic❤️
That car is sick 🔥🔥🔥
Would be nice if they brought back the coupes!!!
Best car reviews. Even though half the cars you review we don't have in South Africa. I'm a very big fan of yours. Can you please review the new hyundai i30n automatic
The i30 isn't sold in North America
@@ARCNA442 thanks, I didn't know
LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!
What a tremendous job Cadillac are doing at the moment. I'd go for this in terms of aesthetics over the BMW's. Sadly and once again not available in the UK. Is synthetic fuel the answer so we can keep producing these fantastic cars?
I hope synthetic fuels get produced soon because even EVs are not the answer, it’s just temporary until we can figure something out that is truly beneficial for the planet
Porsche is trying to make one.
That's because you did not buy them. But it's Cadillac's fault for not building a car that could compete well enough. They never felt special enough to say they were premium. Lincoln on the other hand is building some impressive luxury vehicles today.
@@JuanGarcia-zq5tp The few I did see had great styling. Taking on the usual suspects from the German big three of BMW, Audi and Mercedes was too much though. Maybe perceived American build quality was a problem ( Not having a go at American cars myself. It's just what some say ). Infiniti seem to be in the same boat in the UK ( Although doing great in BTCC ). Chrysler had a bit of limited success but it didn't last long
@@JuanGarcia-zq5tp 😂
Looks dope! Needs some exhaust work though; I bet you can get some good aftermarket stuff.
❤❤❤❤ great job boys
I hope people buy this car!
This car is your last chance to get a true American sedan, not a Chevy guy but I loved the Caprice and SS, this’s their final and ultimate form and it’s awesome
The beginning 😂. (🥴🥴*vroom* ”that is good”)
Dope music bros👏🏾
Just wish this came with a NA V8! would have been perfectionnnn!!!!
I see Jacob rocking the Rolex Datejust.
Could You Review The Gmc Acadia 2021
I really like this car tell you get inside and look at the screen area. I could not pay this price and look at something that looks so cheep every day.
One of my cars is an XLR V, love everything about it tell you look at the screen and it looks like super Nintendo quality.
NEW ROLEX! Congrats! lol...oh yeah, awesome review too lol
Would love for you guys to do a video on the 2021 Lotus Evora GT. It is a rare true driver's car with a mid-engine configuration and a manual transmission. I'm seriously considering trading my F-Type for this car. What do you guys say???
is this intro song also in hagerty's GR86 vid? no complaints, just curious...
Will the Ram 1500 TRX vs 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor video will be there soon?
I'm looking at this car. I NEED a manual in my sports car! And there is not many options these days. I'm just worried I would regret/ feel like I missed out not getting the ct5 v.....
I hope the combustion remains a niche market for longer and forever... Cars like this is a testament on why internal combustion engines are the future, if syngas and hydrogen expand big (despite hydrogen combustion having a LOW density)...
To answer the question in the video, the CT4-V is easily the best sport sedan for the money in my opinion. Having daily driven an M2 for almost three years and had seat time in the competition, the Blackwing would be the far superior daily companion. The overly harsh ride on most modern M cars is enough to keep me from buying another one. Combine that with sky high maintenance costs, no thanks. This Caddy is a proper M3 beater and I love it.
I used Google to search "Is Cadillac a reliable vehicle." It is ranked 26 out of 32. So why should I buy a Cadillac?
Buy American! And I have owned Mercedes and BMW. Like owning a boat, just keep throwing money at it.
U guys deserve more subs
Prefer the looks and proportions of the CT5 V Blackwing in every way. Yet, 🤔 I do love the sportier size of the CT4 V Blackwing.
These looking better than the bmws bro 😍😍😍
