2023 CT5-V Series - Cadillac Digital Brochure

Two thrilling choices await: high-performance and ultra-performance. Choose the CT5-V with its 3.0L Twin Turbocharged V6 engine and enjoy 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque (550 Nm). Or, step up to CT5-V Blackwing—the most powerful Cadillac Sedan ever—and dominate the road or track with 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque (893Nm). You can’t go wrong no matter what you decide.

Standard on CT5-V and available on CT5-V Blackwing, the 10-speed automatic transmission was obsessively tuned to deliver 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.

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

A Cadillac first, and exclusive to CT5-V Blackwing, available carbon-ceramic brakes with cross-drilled rotors offered in red, blue or bronze calipers are both visually appealing and high-performing. Subtle racing-inspired laser-etched details on the rotor hats combine with track-worthy stopping power—helping to deliver a confident and engaging driving experience.

Beneath the bold exterior of every V-Series vehicle lies a structure that’s strong, yet lightweight. Rigid, yet agile. High-strength structural adhesive increases stiffness and durability, while integrated under-hood and overall reinforcements create a solid chassis. The result? Responsive handling on the road as well as connected precision on the track.

V-Series 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.

CT5-V offers the performance steering wheel, while the CT5-V Blackwing offers the high-performance steering wheel—both delight with fine leather, cut-and-sewn stitching and the satisfying response of the V-Mode button. Additionally, CT5-V Blackwing includes a carbon-fiber trim, a serialized plate featuring a laser-etched portion of your VIN sequence and a quick-access Performance Traction Management switch.

CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing include an Electronic Limited-Slip Rear Differential that automatically directs torque to the rear wheel with the most traction for greater control during cornering and spirited maneuvers. This system is extremely precise and optimized across the spectrum of driving conditions.

Launch Control, a form of traction control that helps optimize power delivery and grip, helps you achieve high levels of acceleration in a straight line. This feature is intended for use during closed-course race events where the quickest 0-60 mph and/or quarter-mile times are desired. Additionally, V-Series Blackwing vehicles include Line Lock, helping to give you an extra advantage off the line.

Every V-Series model undergoes extensive wind-tunnel development and testing, resulting in sophisticated design that slips through the air. Aerodynamics in CT5-V Blackwing artfully add a new mesh grille that helps improve cooling and airflow, while front and rear splitters combine to reduce lift and generate downforce. This is science applied by the hands of a sculptor.

Lightweight yet reliably strong, V-Series features aluminum alloy wheels paired with summer-only, low-profile tires. tooltip^† These wheels are stiffer than previous Cadillac generations, delivering reduced road noise and, on CT5-V Blackwing, improved track performance.
