The 2022 Cadillac CT4-V

Image
  Apologies in advance to those who already know this, but a lone V at the end of a Cadillac’s name no longer denotes the fastest, most powerful version of that particular model. Those are now called Blackwings, and since there are no black wings – or, y’know, twin-turbocharged engines – attached to the car you see here, the four-cylinder 2022 Cadillac CT4-V is merely the mid-performance version of Caddy’s entry-level sedan. Styling: 7.5/10 Aesthetically, the CT4-V is generally alright looking from the front and the side but admittedly quite awkward from rear angles. In any case, Cadillac has added the option of this Blaze Orange Metallic colour to the CT4 range for 2022 that helps the car visually stand out. Interior design isn’t bad either. General Motors (GM) and Cadillac, in particular, have come a long way when it comes to cabin materials and while most of the CT4-V’s interior does consist of softer plastics, cool, glossy carbon fiber, attractive alloys, and nicely s...

The BMW M3 f80

Image
  The   BMW   M3 has become a fundamental part of the performance car world since its introduction in 1988. Track days or a Nürburgring tourist lap wouldn’t be complete without at least one M3 of some generation slithering its way round the circuit. In the 32 years since the M3 lineage was founded, the car’s influence hasn’t waned much either. BMW’s creation remains a benchmark sports coupe, and saloon, that trades little of the base   3-series ’ comfort and usability in delivering its exceptional driving dynamics.  When the current F80 model was released in 2014, it brought with it a larger saloon-only bodystyle (the coupe and cabriolet now moved to the less evocative M4 moniker), a turbocharged six-cylinder engine and more comfort and convenience features than ever before.  The M3’s twin-turbocharged engine may not have the tantalising induction howl and high rev limit that previous M3 engines were famous for, but it what it lacks in sonoro...
