Lot #696.1 – 2022 CADILLAC CT4-V BLACKWING – NO RESERVE
Blackwing is an identifier of mythical birds, high-priced pencils, the 4.2-liter twin turbo V8 engine that driven the CT6 and CT6-V, and the moniker for the most recent pair of Cadillac general performance sedans. Blackwing comes from the unique Cadillac crest, which featured the Merlette, a legendary black chicken devoid of feet. This crest arrives from the founder of Detroit, Michigan: Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac. Nowadays, Cadillac says the Blackwing identify denotes “the really maximum standard of execution.”
This identify is also unique to the V-Sequence Cadillacs, which debuted as aspect of a rebranding physical exercise in the early 2000s. Typical Motors’ aim was to convey Cadillac again as the “Normal of the Globe” with a new “Art and Science” design and style that would enter it into direct competitors with Stuttgart and Bavaria’s common marks, exclusively all those appointed with their letter designations like AMG, M and RS.
