2022 CT5-V Blackwing - Cadillac Digital Brochure

Transport yourself. With 668 hp tooltip^† and 659 lb-ft of torque, tooltip^† the CT5-V Blackwing sends your pulse soaring with a Cadillac-estimated top track speed of over 200 mph when properly equipped. Custom Launch Control with Line Lock helps offer an available estimated 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds, tooltip^† resulting in elite-level performance on and off the track.

True performance driving is back. The standard 6-speed manual transmission strengthens your connection to the road and includes a unique shifter with a jewel-like, 3D-printed emblem.

Refined and obsessively tuned specifically for the V-Series Blackwing. The available 10-speed automatic transmission delivers lightning-fast shift times, giving you smooth power you can feel. With Dynamic Performance Mode, exclusive to V-Series vehicles, the system can automatically select the correct gear during performance driving when in Sport or Track mode.

The CT5-V Blackwing is the first Cadillac vehicle to offer carbon-ceramic rotors, resulting in a brake system that is both visually appealing and high-performing. The brake system is integrated with vehicle drive modes (Tour, Sport, Track and Snow/Ice), including adjusting the brake-pedal feel for each mode—helping to deliver the driving characteristics expected while also helping to increase driver confidence.

Strong, yet lightweight. Rigid, yet agile. Highly integrated under-hood and overall structural reinforcements create a solid chassis, enabling precise tuning that delivers connected steering on the track and responsive handling on the road.

The CT5-V Blackwing features the latest generation of Magnetic Ride Control, which reads the road up to 1,000 times per second and seamlessly adjusts damping for exceptional ride, handling and control.

Prestige in the palms of your hands. The high-performance steering wheel delights with fine leather, cut-and-sewn stitching, carbon-fiber trim and a unique serialized plate, featuring a laser-etched engraving of a portion of your VIN. It also helps personalize your drive with quick-access buttons for V-Mode and Performance Traction Management.

Bold design beautifully directs airflow. The new mesh grille directs air to the main radiators, cooler and airflow ducts. Every secondary grille is functional and purposeful. The front splitter and rear spoiler combine to reduce lift and generate traction. This is science applied with the hands of a sculptor.

Stronger and lighter than traditional cast aluminum wheels, the V-Series Blackwing features forged aluminum wheels paired with summer-only, high-performance, low-profile tires. tooltip^† These aluminum wheels are stiffer than previous Cadillac generations, resulting in reduced road noise and improved track performance. A distinct laser-etched “V” design detail adds an element of visual stopping power—proving that V-Series Blackwing thrills while in motion and at rest.

The CT5-V Blackwing offers three levels of unique interior refinement, each delivering carbon-fiber trim and an array of performance-inspired cues. At the highest tiers, Cadillac craftsmanship pulls out all the stops, featuring available high-performance front seats with Mulan and Opus Semi-Aniline leather seating surfaces and striking faceted quilting and perforation patterns. Every interior is a masterpiece. The challenge is choosing one.

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.

Available Torch Red seat belts tooltip^† dial up the performance character of the cabin and exemplify the lengths Cadillac designers went to in creating a cohesive, racing-inspired interior theme.

Available carbon-fiber-accented seats 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—a touch reserved for CT5-V Blackwing vehicles.

The available integrated Performance Data Recorder allows you to capture every aspect of your driving, including real-time video in 1080p, in-cabin audio and performance data. Track your engine speed, braking force and steering-wheel angle, then play back your ride on the 10" diagonal HD Cadillac user experience tooltip^† screen.

The ultimate in driving meets the ultimate in studio-quality sound. A Cadillac exclusive, the AKG 15-speaker premium surround sound audio system fills the cabin with professional high-fidelity sound that will impress even the most discerning audiophile.

Information at your command. This beautiful interface is integrated with the center cluster and available Head-Up Display, resulting in the streamlined delivery of key driving data. A unique Track configuration—exclusive to V-Series Blackwing—optimizes manual gear shifting with transmission shift lights, and includes a lap timer, quick access to Custom Launch Control settings and more.

Stay focused on every curve, corner and straightaway. The available Head-Up Display projects safety, navigation tooltip^† and other information in your line of sight with three selectable modes: Tour, Sport and Track. Each provides a unique experience based on your driving preferences.
