About the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
The CT5-V Blackwing is Cadillac's high-water mark for internal combustion performance, succeeding the CTS-V as the brand's premier super-sedan. It features a hand-built 6.2-litre LT4 V8 equipped with a 1.7-litre Eaton supercharger, delivering power exclusively to the rear wheels. Unlike many European rivals, it retained a six-speed manual transmission as standard, paired with advanced Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 for exceptional handling. As one of the last great petrol-powered driver's cars, it is widely regarded by collectors as a future classic for its visceral engagement and track-ready capability.
