The Cadillac CT4 is the compact rear-drive sport sedan that succeeded the ATS. It is offered with turbocharged four-cylinder engines and, in V form, more power. The headliner is the CT4-V Blackwing, with a 472 horsepower twin-turbo 3.6 liter V6 and an available 6-speed manual, one of the last true high-performance manual sport sedans on sale.
