Imagine the last slice of pizza at a party, except the pizza is a rear-drive sport sedan and the party is the entire United States. A new inventory check from GM Authority found just five brand-new Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing sedans on U.S. dealer lots.
That’s it. Five cars, in a whole country, four months after the last one rolled off the line.
The last five Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing sedans, by the numbers
GM Authority says four of the five are 2026 models, and one is a 2025 leftover. All five have a Jet Black interior, but the paint is where it gets fun. You can still find one in Drift Metallic and one in Black Raven. Two come in Summit White, and one wears Cyber Yellow Metallic.
Yes, there is still a bright yellow one. If you’re going to buy the last of something, you might as well stand out.
A quick note on the count. GM Authority’s article says “five” in most places, though one line says four. The colors add up to five. The tally also comes from Cadillac’s dealer inventory tool, which changes daily. Treat it as a snapshot rather than a guarantee. I’d call your local dealer before you drive anywhere.
How we got from 130 cars to five
The slide has been fast. GM Authority counted about 130 new units in February, then roughly 50 in July. Prices in July ran from about $68,000 to about $95,000, depending on the options.
Production ended June 25 at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan. The order window had already closed on April 20. After that, nobody was building any more.
Every sale since has been a step toward zero.
The shutdown was no surprise. In October 2025, Cadillac announced it would retire the current CT4 and CT5 after the 2026 model year. Cadillac Global Vice President John Roth said it then: “after six strong years, the current generation Cadillac CT4 and CT5 will be retired after model year 2026.” There is no 2027 CT4.
Why the CT4-V Blackwing mattered
The CT4-V Blackwing packs a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 making 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. It rides on GM’s Alpha 2 platform. It debuted in February 2021 as a 2022 model and served as the indirect successor to the ATS-V.
Everyone else was chasing crossovers and screens. This was a small, rear-driven sport sedan you could get with a six-speed manual. Of the 130 cars GM Authority counted in February, 71 had that stick shift. Enthusiasts noticed, and they bought them.
So who needs the manual, really? Apparently, a lot of people.
Here’s the thing: there’s a bigger story behind the shrinking number. Carscoops reports that once the CT4 is gone, the CT5 becomes Cadillac’s last attainable sedan. Cadillac’s sedan era is closing, one dealer lot at a time. Meanwhile, the brand is betting on SUVs like the Cadillac XT-X.
What happens next for the last CT4-V
Nothing replenishes this stock. Cadillac won’t build any more CT4-V Blackwings, so the number can only drop below five. Want one new, with a factory warranty and that smell of fresh leather? The window is basically a crack in the door. Even the last CT4-V will not sit there long.
After that, it’s the used market, where scarcity tends to do what scarcity does to prices. Buyers who like cars that sell out fast may also enjoy our look at the best-selling EVs in the US.
So, Cyber Yellow or Summit White: which one are you calling about first?
