Wrapping Up the CT4-V Blackwing’s Production
The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing is one of the last real driver’s cars left in the luxury sedan world. Starting at $65,395 (destination included), it’s a rare breed these days – mainly because you can still get it with a six-speed manual.
That alone is worth celebrating. But if you want something even more out there – especially with production wrapping up – there’s a new Mercury Silver Metallic 2024 CT4-V Blackwing Arrival Edition sitting at Roth Cadillac in Erie. Well, it’s technically brand new, but it’s already two model years old. Sounds like a red flag, but if you’re chasing unicorn specs, this one should tickle your fancy.
Word is, this might be one of the last unsold Arrival Editions left in the US. As CT4s disappear from lots, this one’s turning into a true needle in a haystack.

A Special Edition Built For Enthusiasts
The Arrival Edition isn’t just a sticker job. It’s one of three special Mondrian models Cadillac cooked up for 2024 to mark 20 years of V-Series madness.
Draped in Mercury Silver Metallic, the Arrival Edition gets bold side graphics, numbered trim, red mirror caps, Torch Red seat belts, and a heap of carbon fiber. The package alone adds about $22,000 to the options list, according to the listing.
Under the hood, you get Cadillac’s twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 with 472 horses and 445 lb-ft of torque. All that grunt goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual – something rare in luxury performance cars anymore. Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic LSD, Brembos, and Performance Traction Management make sure it’s just as happy on a track as it is on the street.
You also get both Carbon Fiber 1 and 2 packages, plus all the tech, nav, climate, safety, and lighting goodies. Ventilated seats, a head-up display, wireless phone pairing, AKG sound, and Cadillac’s performance data recorder mean you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for speed.

Nearly $11,000 Off A Car That May Never Be Offered Again
The original sticker? $90,255. Roth Cadillac is letting it go for $79,890 – almost $11,000 off. Big discounts like this are rare on limited-run performance cars. But in this case, being a 2024 seems to matter more to the dealer than the fact it’s a unicorn.
However, let’s be real here. A manual luxury sedan that costs nearly $80,000 isn’t for everyone, but those quirks might just make it a future classic. With automakers racing toward electric and auto-only performance, cars like the CT4-V Blackwing are fast becoming an endangered species.
Funny enough, the same things that kept this Arrival Edition sitting unsold – the stick shift, the niche vibe, the big price tag – could be exactly why collectors will be drooling over it in a few years.
