Even though the CT4-V Blackwing can run rings around the regular CT4, a 0-60 mph time of 6.2 seconds isn’t too sluggish for a budget sports sedan.

Inside the CT4, Cadillac opts for a more user-friendly control setup instead of the touch-sensitive interface found in the ATS. Under the hood of the base Luxury CT4 is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that churns out 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
