Coming Soon

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 1st Generation

20222026 · Alpha 2 · sedan

The final gasoline V-series Cadillac. 6.2L LT4 supercharged V8 (668 hp / 659 lb-ft) — most powerful Cadillac ever. Standard 6-speed Tremec TR-6060 manual with rev-match downshift; optional 10-speed 10L90 automatic. RWD only. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, 200+ mph top speed. Carbon-ceramic brake option. On Car and Driver's 10 Best continuously since 2022.

Watch out: Same supercharger-care discipline as the previous LT4 cars: change the supercharger oil on schedule, watch the coupler. Manual builds report occasional 3-2 downshift balking — software updates have improved the rev-match algorithm.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
