The 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has to contend with the enormous shadow its CT5-V sibling casts. There’s a raucous yet refined four-door with a stand-out, supercharged V8 soundtrack. It was managing editor Mike Schlee’s favorite vehicle of the year when he drove it last summer.

Cadillac has a sign for the ol’ Nard Dog. Actually, it has two, totalling 1,140 horsepower between them. The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing are the brand’s final internal-combustion V-Series cars, some 20 years after the first V stomped onto the scene.

The Blackwings are more than just a pair of high horsepower figures, though. These fire-breathing four-doors together form a paean to the petrol-powered sport sedan, a Greatest Hits showcase of speed, agility, and genuine track-readiness. How do I know that last factoid?
