V-SERIES IS IN OUR VEINS
Join an elite class of passionate, performance-minded enthusiasts, and claim your piece of more than 70 years of legendary Cadillac Racing heritage. You can own the pinnacle of track capability and road refinement when you build your own CT5-V or CT5-V Blackwing.
Refined engine power with Active Fuel Management™ provides fuel efficiency* on your daily commutes and pure adrenaline on your joyrides. Turn heads with the 3.0L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine in CT5-V, boasting 360 hp and 550 Nm of torque.
Unleash the power of CT5-V Blackwing’s 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, delivering 668 hp and 893 Nm of torque. This remarkable engine is assembled by hand. To celebrate this feat of engineering, the assembler places a signed plaque prominently on the engine cover.
MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL
Structurally rigid, yet compliant in an instant. The 2023 V-Series family features the latest generation of Magnetic Ride Control.
BREMBO® PERFORMANCE BRAKES
Quiet on the road and proven on the track. Brembo performance front brakes give CT5-V confident pedal feel and secure stopping power. On CT5-V Blackwing, front and rear Brembo high-performance brakes as well as enhanced cooling improve brake performance and fade resistance.
In addition, the CT5-V Blackwing is the first Cadillac vehicle to offer carbon-ceramic brakes with cross-drilled rotors, resulting in a brake system that is both visually appealing and high-performing.
REAR-WHEEL DRIVE
The foundation for high-performance handling, RWD architecture enables ideal front to rear weight distribution and reduces mass, so carving corners is a breeze. For added traction in everyday conditions, CT5-V offers available all-wheel drive.
TRANSMISSIONS
Right gear, right time, guaranteed. The 10-speed automatic transmission, standard on CT5-V and on CT5-V Blackwing, delivers lightning-fast shifts.
TIRES
Standard summer-only, low-profile tires* offer race car* aesthetics and encourage spirited driving at every turn. CT5-V Blackwing boasts Michelin Pilot® Sport 4S summer-only, low-profile tires*. For athleticism on all occasions, CT5-V offers available all-season low-profile, run-flat tires*.
CT5 V-Series boasts an array of performance-inspired interior refinements, including alloy paddle shifters, Carbon Fiber console trim, bolstered front seats, and an ergonomic steering wheel and armrests. At the highest tiers, Cadillac craftsmanship pulls out all the stops, with available high-performance front seats with full Semi-Aniline leather seating surfaces and striking faceted quilting, perforation patterns and Carbon Fiber front seatbacks.
PERFORMANCE STEERING WHEEL
Prestige is in the palms of your hands. Grasp the thick-rim performance steering wheel, featuring alloy paddle shifters and leather-wrapped horn pad.
The high-performance steering wheel in CT5-V Blackwing delights with Carbon Fiber trim and a unique serial numbered plate corresponding to your Vehicle Identification Number build sequence. It also helps personalize your drive with quick-access buttons for V-Mode and Performance Traction Management.
SUEDED MICROFIBER ACCENTS
An available sueded microfiber headliner, as well as available accents on the seats, door trim, steering wheel and shifter, allow you to further refine an atmosphere already teeming with adrenaline.
TORCH RED SEAT BELTS
Available Torch Red seat belts* dial up the performance character of the cabin and exemplify the details that create a cohesive, racing-themed interior.
CARBON FIBER-ACCENTED FRONT SEATS
Available Carbon Fiber-accented seats—a touch reserved for CT5-V Blackwing vehicles—are crafted for the true performance enthusiast. Optimized ergonomics provide lateral support during spirited maneuvers, and the slim head restraint design is shaped to comfortably accommodate track helmets.* At the highest interior level, a sculptural Carbon Fiber seatback* acts as interior artwork that grants you an unbeatable edge.
Signature V-Series aesthetics serve a powerful purpose. The mesh grille design directs air to the main radiators, cooler and airflow ducts, while the front splitter and rear spoiler combine to reduce lift and generate traction. CT5-V Blackwing is aero-obsessed, incorporating 11 different heating and cooling exchanges to help feed its powerhouse engine. This is science applied by the hands of a sculptor.
CARBON-FIBER EXTERIOR PACKAGES
To elevate performance design even further, CT5-V Blackwing offers two available Carbon Fiber packages*. More than exterior adornments, aerodynamic touches significantly reduce lift and dramatically improve high-speed handling and control, leaving competition in the dust.
LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS
Engineered to endure, lightweight aluminum alloy wheels on CT5-V reduce unsprung mass for increased performance and come in a variety of designs and finishes for statement-making stopping power.
