Race versions of the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Honor 3 Track IMSA
Did you hear Cadillac is betting big on the new GTP Hypercar class in next year’s endurance racing. The company is amazing-looking for GTP Hypercar Project will bring Cadillac back to Le Mans in 2023, and will also see the automaker’s further success in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship. Now, to celebrate its past and future achievements in motorsport, Cadillac has created three limited editions. CT4-V Blackwing race-inspired cars.
Dubbed the CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions, the three cars each pay tribute to a different track in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship. The three circuits include Sebring in Florida, Watkins Glen in New York and Road Atlanta in, you guessed it, Atlanta.
The Blackwing Road Atlanta model is finished in white metallic paint, while the interior can be decorated with red or gray accents. Those interior accents can be combined with red brakes and side mirrors.
In honor of Sebring and the 12-hour race took place there, Cadillac completed the CT4-V Blackwing in a dark navy color it called Maverick Noir Frost. This is combined with brass brake calipers on the outside and a cool gray interior.
Final, model inspired by Watkins Glen has a vibrant blue color that Cadillac calls electric blue. The company says the color reflects the blue railings along the track. This finish is combined with royal blue brakes.
As well as that gorgeous exterior, the Track Editions also come with two standard packages in carbon fiber and carbon fiber front seats as standard.
There are even more race-inspired flourishes throughout, including a 3D-printed gearshift medallion, which will top optional six-speed manual transmission. A 10-speed automatic option is also available.
The cars are also adorned with the IMSA logo, including on the front splitter and rear spoiler, while the Cadillac Racing Mondrian can be found on the hood and doors. Just in case you forget that you’re driving a race-inspired Blackwing.
Cadillac says it will only build 99 of the three Track Edition Blackwing cars.
Production for the Watkins Glen edition is slated for October to December of this year. The Sebring model will launch in January 2023, and the Road Atlanta model will be built between February and March next year.
Cadillac has yet to share pricing information for the three models. But, it’s safe to assume that each person will encounter a collision the cost of a regular CT4-V Blackwing, starting at $60,390. It will likely still be lower than the CT5-V Blackwing, which starts at $83,995, though that’s for the real race buffs.
