There’s a chance you’ve seen a Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, the high-performance version of the automaker’s smallest sedan, up close. But have you ever seen a 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition? Probably not. Cadillac only made 99 of them to honor the International Motor Sports Association course. Not only can you see one of them at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Palm Beach Auction on April 24-26, but you can also make it yours by placing the winning bid.
When Cadillac introduced the CT4-V Blackwing (Blackwing identifying the automaker’s most potent models) for the 2022 model year, the brand made it clear that the sedan was developed on a track. The company stated that “the most powerful and fastest Cadillac ever in the subcompact class” had a “track-tailored chassis and suspension features” as well as a “track-tested” Brembo brake system.
The following year, Cadillac honored three IMSA (International Motor Sports Association) courses with its CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions: Watkins Glen, Sebring, and Road Atlanta, each model with a 99-unit production run. The basics were the same across the board. Every Track Edition was powered by a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that pumped out 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic sent the engine’s output to an electronic limited-slip rear differential. No matter which variation you chose, it came with IMSA logos on the front splitter and rear spoiler, a 3D-printed shifter medallion (for manual cars), serialization and builder’s plates, a decal of the specific track the car honored, and carbon fiber front seatbacks.
The biggest – and most notable – differences between the Track Editions were the exterior and brake caliper colors. For the Sebring model, Cadillac chose Maverick Noir Frost, a color “inspired by the Twelve Hours of Sebring endurance race, which ends in the dark of night,” and Tech Bronze calipers.
The CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition you see here hasn’t done much traveling on the street or the track. It only has 25 miles on it, which means that that special paint looks factory-fresh and the black leather interior with white accents and red piping appears to have never been occupied. Additional interior features include a digital gauge cluster, head-up display, performance data and video recorder, and 15-speaker AKG audio system.
I had the privilege of testing a six-speed 2022 CT4-V Blackwing for a week. What an impressive machine! The Magnetic Ride Control suspension was comfortable on suburban streets and composed on back roads. Compared to its ATS-V predecessor, the Blackwing had a more natural weight to its steering. The potent engine was so addictive that I found myself downshifting when I didn’t need to just so I could wind up the engine and dig into its power over and over.
You can enjoy that satisfying driving experience for years to come if you win this 1-of-99 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Palm Beach Auction.
