Whole lot #696.1 – 2022 CADILLAC CT4-V BLACKWING – NO RESERVE
Blackwing is an identifier of legendary birds, pricey pencils, the 4.2-liter twin turbo V8 motor that driven the CT6 and CT6-V, and the moniker for the most recent pair of Cadillac general performance sedans. Blackwing arrives from the original Cadillac crest, which showcased the Merlette, a legendary black hen with out toes. This crest comes from the founder of Detroit, Michigan: Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac. Currently, Cadillac states the Blackwing name denotes “the extremely highest common of execution.”
This title is also special to the V-Series Cadillacs, which debuted as portion of a rebranding work out in the early 2000s. Typical Motors’ goal was to bring Cadillac again as the “Conventional of the Globe” with a new “Art and Science” style that would enter it into immediate competitiveness with Stuttgart and Bavaria’s standard marks, particularly those people appointed with their letter designations like AMG, M and RS.
