6 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a sports sedan on a mission. Its hand-built V8 engine offers drivers intense thrills during every drive, especially when paired with the manual transmission. With updated tech and a refreshed design for 2025, the CT5-V Blackwing proves why it’s the only option for adrenaline junkies everywhere.

1. Supercharged 6.2L V8 Engine

At the heart of the CT5-V Blackwing is a hand-built 6.2L supercharged V8 engine that produces 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. This rear-wheel drive sedan is capable of launching from a standstill to 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds, which is almost a full second faster than the standard CT5-V. On the track, the Blackwing can exceed 200 mph, so there’s no limit to how much (responsible) fun you can have.

2. Manual or Automatic Transmission

In what is becoming a rarity, the Blackwing comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission with active rev matching. This option is a no-brainer for purists who want maximum control, however, there is also a 10-speed automatic transmission available as a no-cost option.

3. Track-Capable Chassis

The Blackwing comes with Magnetic Ride Control, which adjusts damping every 10 to 15 milliseconds so that ride comfort, handling, and grip are fully optimized at all times. Standard tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires, which support extended track use. Braking power is provided by Brembo brakes: 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers, with an optional carbon-ceramic upgrade.

4. All-New 33-Inch Display

A new 33-inch curved display spans the cockpit, integrating the instrument cluster and infotainment functions into a single interface. The software offers built-in Google services such as Google Maps and Google Assistant, with standard wireless smartphone connectivity. Performance-specific displays allow drivers to view lap times, G-forces, and throttle or brake inputs in real-time.

5. Aerodynamic Packages

The Blackwing offers two aerodynamic packages. The Carbon Fiber 1 package includes a front splitter, rear spoiler, and rocker extensions. Carbon Fiber 2 adds dive canards and front strakes.

6. Performance Seating Options

Drivers will notice the comfort and support of the performance front seats that come standard with 18-way power adjustments, heating, ventilation, memory, and power lumbar support. Semi-aniline leather upholstery with microfiber suede inserts is optional, as is massaging functionality. The available performance bucket seats have more aggressive bolstering and are carbon-fiber backed for reduced weight and increased rigidity.

The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing is a track-capable sedan built for performance enthusiasts. At the same time, it offers solid space and functionality to accommodate the needs of everyday life.
