  • 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing ensures extreme downforce capabilities

    2022 Cadillac CT4-V BlackwingCadillac’s fastest and most agile subcompact sports sedan, the 2022 CT4-V Blackwing is available for purchase with exclusive carbon-fiber packages and ensures exceptional agility and aesthetics, thanks to the reduction of lift and the increase of downforce.

    The pack is available in two variants and was developed using a new five-belt rolling-road wind tunnel at the GM Technical Center in warren, Michigan, as well as the Wndshear tunnel in North Carolina. The result is the highest level of aerodynamic downforce ever produced by a Cadillac V-Series production vehicle.

    The upgrade is based on the multi-championship-winning Cadillac Racing DPi-V.R race car. The tests have included more than 500 hours of wind tunnel experiments and 300 simulations using advanced computer technologies. The incorporation of virtual reality technology also allowed Cadi engineers to enhance the tests and bring us the optimal final result.
