The-New 2022 Cadillac CT5-V BLACKWING https://youtu.be/HuxbtqUMXmY

The supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 returns for an encore performance from the previous CTS-V with intake and exhaust improvements that bump its output from 640 hp and 630 pound-feet to 668 and 659, respectively, this time around. Although the Eaton four-lobe supercharger still displaces 1.7 liters, it now has smaller-diameter rotors to improve response. Each engine is hand-built by a single technician at the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, who signs each of his or her creations.

Cadillac promises a 3.7-second zero-to-60-mph time with the available and quick-shifting 10-speed automatic, although that's not any quicker than before. The quickest we got out of a CTS-V was 3.5 seconds to 60 mph, and with a similar claimed weight of just over 4100 pounds for the CT5-V Blackwing, we expect similar results. With the manual, the CT5-V Blackwing will be slower. No one cares.
The CT5-V Blackwing has numerous structural enhancements, including an underhood strut tower brace emblazoned with a V, plus extensive aero work including a front splitter, functional fender vents, and drag-reducing underbody panels, helping to push the CT5 to a claimed and imprecise top speed of "over 200 mph." As with the CTS-V, there's an available package to swap out the front and rear aero add-ons with carbon-fiber bits.
Pricing for the CT5-V Blackwing starts at $84,990, a healthy $36,200 more than a CT5-V, but actually a few thousand cheaper than the previous CTS-V. Although that undercuts a BMW M5 or Mercedes-AMG E63 by more than $20,000, the CT5's new positioning means that this time around its priced slightly higher than the starting point for the M3 and C63.
