Throughout its long and stories history, Cadillac has offered matte finish exterior paint options four times. The latest matte color is Maverick Noir Frost, a flat black exterior paint option exclusively available on the 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. Cadillac Society recently learned that Maverick Noir Frost is a rare color indeed, and is limited to only Sebring IMSA Edition models.
The 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition is one of three Track Edition models, each of which pay homage to a North American racetrack where the luxury marque has found success. Just 99 units representing each track will be produced, with 297 units of the CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions to be built in total. Since just 99 units of the Sebring IMSA Edition will be built, these will be the only 99 examples to bear Maverick Noir Frost paint. This also means that the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will not be offered in Maverick Noir Frost paint.
Maverick Noir Frost was selected as the exterior color to grace the CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition models as a nod to the 12 Hours of Sebring race, which “ends in the dark of night.” In addition to the exclusive exterior paint color, this special edition model features grayscale striping on the doors and the hood, along with Tech Bronze brake calipers. It also features a silhouette of the Sebring racetrack on the rear window, along with exclusive IMSA logo decals.
The 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Sebring IMSA Edition does not feature increased performance over the “regular” CT4-V Blackwing. In other words, it retains the twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine (production code LF4). The boosted six makes 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, and is paired with the luxury marque’s six-speed manual transmission as standard or the 10-speed automatic as an option. It rides on the luxury marque’s Alpha 2 platform.
Production of the Sebring IMSA Edition models will begin at the Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan in January 2023. Order books for the Track Edition models opened on August 1st, 2022.
