Like the old ATS and CTS, the Cadillac CT4 rides on General Motor’s Alpha platform, which also underpins the Chevrolet Camaro. Having sports car underpinnings may sound ill-suited for a luxury sedan, but the Alpha platform is one of the best chassis available on the market today. Cadillac designed the CT4-V with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, a modest 3,616-pound curb weight, and excellent driving dynamics.
Though it feels different than the Camaro, the CT4-V retains much of the same driving enjoyment. The steering is nicely balanced and delivers excellent feedback while the chassis communicates what the front and rear ends are up to through the bends. Compared to its M and AMG rivals, the V feels like more of a pure driver’s car.
