Cadillac introduces you to the all-new CT5-V Blackwing: a supercharged, high-performance sports sedan that makes you feel nothing short of exhilarating. The Blackwing is Cadillac’s performance trim, and it certainly does not disappoint.
The CT5-V Blackwing offers remarkable power and showcases artful aesthetics. From its hand-built engine to its refined body design, this sedan promises to provide you with a driving experience unlike any other. And it’s the most powerful Cadillac ever.
The great news is that you won’t have to wait long to see the CT5-V Blackwing for yourself. It’s anticipated to hit showrooms in late Summer 2021. But Cadillac also mentions that availability is extremely limited.
So, if you’re interested in this high-performance sedan, you’ll want to know some important details first. We’ll highlight some of our favourite CT5-V Blackwing features. We’re confident you’ll be just as excited to get behind the wheel as we are.
Compared to its predecessor, the CT5-V Blackwing boasts an all-new body style. Its silhouette is low and wide, complemented by angular contouring to maximize aerodynamics. The front is fitted with a new mesh grille design, airflow ducts and a front splitter to manage airflow throughout the vehicle while driving. Combined with its rear spoiler, the CT5-V Blackwing body design reduces lift and generates traction.
The CT5-V Blackwing sits on 19” forged aluminum wheels and summer-only, high-performance tires. These wheels are stronger and lighter than traditional cast aluminum wheels, and they produce less road noise and better track performance. You’ll even have 3 spoke patterns to choose from.
If you’re looking to enhance the overall appearance of your ride, you can opt for available carbon fibre exterior packages.
There is a lot to explore inside the CT5-V Blackwing’s spacious interior. The upholstery is finished in genuine leather, and the front seats are available with heating and ventilating capability. To refine the interior appearance even further, you can opt for sueded-microfiber accents or carbon fibre accents. You can even opt for the sporty, Torch Red seatbelts. Cadillac will offer three levels of interior options, so you’re sure to find a style you’ll love.
What you’ll find under the hood is certain to be the CT5-V Blackwing’s most notable feature. That’s because this vehicle is powered by the highest output in Cadillac’s history. The CT5-V Blackwing utilizes a hand-built 6.2L supercharged V8 engine. It produces a jaw-dropping 668 horsepower and 659 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s also equipped with Custom Launch Control and Line Lock, getting you from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds.
This vehicle is also equipped with Magnetic Ride Control: the world’s fastest-reacting suspension. This suspension can read the road up to 1,000 times per second and adjusts your drive accordingly to give you the best handling and traction on any road condition.
The CT5-V Blackwing comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, but you can opt for the available 10-speed automatic transmission if you prefer.
It’s also equipped with a high-performance steering wheel. You’ll be able to personalize your driving experience thanks to the built-in quick-access buttons for V-Mode and Performance Traction Management.
The CT5-V Blackwing is sure to be one of the most thrilling driving experiences you’ve ever had.
This model is equipped with a 10” infotainment touchscreen with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It will also offer the AKG 15-speaker premium surround sound audio system to give you the best sound experience.
In addition to the infotainment screen, the CT5-V Blackwing features a 12” HD reconfigurable digital instrument cluster. You can keep the vehicle information you want close at hand and enhance your driving experience even further with the available Head-Up display. The Head-Up Display projects navigation, safety and other vehicle information in your line of sight, so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
It’s even equipped with an integrated performance data recorder, so you can capture every aspect of the track day. Now that’s pretty cool.
