The CT5-V Blackwing boasts an impressive set of specs that will make driving it an absolute and exhilarating experience.
So what's so special about it?
CT5-V Blackwing Performance
Car and Driver calls the V8 powertrain "glorious." The 6.2 litre V-8 boasts an impressive 668 horsepower. The brand is discontinuing the gas powered V-series, and turning toward electric cars, and this CT-5 V absolutely goes out with a bang. This beast of an engine comes equipped standard with a six-speed manual transmission — the same one that is offered in the Chevrolet Camaro. While the automatic transmission is optional and certainly capable, the CT5-V is made to be driven, and you are meant to feel every moment of this engine's acceleration. And, on the topic of acceleration, the CT5-V does zero to sixty in a mind-blowing 3.4 seconds. On the track, the CT5-V topped out at over 200mph. This is a track worthy sedan meant to turn heads.
Design
And turn heads it does. The CT5-V has design elements that are both a spectacle and functional. Boasting Cadillac's bold lines and aggressive stance, the CT5-V also has functional secondary grills and available carbon fiber touches. It is aerodynamic, with spoilers and lines meant to provide stability and traction. The carbon fiber exterior effects are more than just a beautiful accent; they reduce lift that helps keep the sedan stable. Forged aluminum wheels are durable and lightweight, stiffer to reduce road noise, and a bold and dramatic design meant to make you look.
The interior is just as beautiful, with carbon fiber accents and available high performance seats. Microfiber suede accents and torch red seatbelts add refinement to an already boldly designed sedan. The interior blends performance and comfort in a way that will make you want to take the scenic route on your drives.
Technology
Along with a seamless blend of refinement and performance, the 2022 CT5-V Blackwing brings with it top-of-the-line technology. It is, after all, a Cadillac. It features a 12-inch HD screen that is customizable. The Heads-up Display — HUD — offers navigation, driver assist, and vehicle information on the instrument panel, in line of sight. Everything you need to know is right in front of you. In addition, there's the AKG 15-speaker sound system that is exclusive to Cadillac. There's even an available integrated performance data recorder, that will record and playback video, while analyzing engine speed, braking power, and other driving habits.
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V is truly, as Cadillac itself has labeled it, exceptional. It is a seamless blend of performance, design, and technology that will invite you to drive it over and over again. You'll never tire of the experience of driving this beast of a sedan, and you'll not have another chance. Cadillac is shifting the V-series to electric after the release of the 2022 CT5-V Blackwing. Cadillac says that carrying the name of Blackwing means that this the pinnacle of Cadillac performance, and they are certainly not exaggerating the sedan's capabilities.
