With a 0-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds, Magnetic Ride Control, and a Brembo braking system, the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing shows just how far a mid-size sedan can take performance. This V-Series monster is ready to tear up racetracks and streets all around Lafayette.

Supercharged Engine
The CT5-V Blackwing houses a fire-breathing 6.2L supercharged V8 that generates 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. The engine is hand-built at GM’s Performance Build Center and features a signed plaque from the master builder. It is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching (ARM) and No Lift Shift (NLS) technology. Power is delivered to the sedan’s rear wheels by default, but buyers who prioritize all-weather performance can opt for all-wheel drive.
Scorching Speed
With launch control, the sedan achieves an impressive 0-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds. This beats the rival BMW M3, which does the deed in 4.1 seconds. On the racetrack, the CT5-V Blackwing’s tremendous power propels it to a vision-blurring top speed of more than 200 mph.
Performance Suspension
A cutting-edge performance suspension underpins the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, providing outstanding lateral stiffness and precise body control while also quickening steering response. The setup comes standard with GM’s innovative suspension technology, Magnetic Ride Control, for even better handling dynamics. Magnetic Ride Control uses a magnetorheological fluid that can change viscosity on the fly to facilitate precise adaptive damping and reduce body roll.
Electronic Limited-Slip Rear Differential
The CT5-V Blackwing’s maneuverability is further enhanced by an electronic limited-slip rear differential (eLSD). The eLSD automatically allocates the right amount of torque to each rear wheel during hard cornering, helping the sedan maintain a perfect grip. The CT5-V Blackwing also includes a rear differential cooler that ensures the eLSD is operating at optimal temperatures at all times.
Driver Mode Selector
A standard Driver Mode Selector lets the driver customize the CT5-V Blackwing’s performance at any time. Tour mode is the ideal choice for everyday driving, while Sport mode and Track mode enhance the connection between the driver and the road. In less-than-ideal driving conditions, Snow/Ice mode boosts the sedan’s grip. The CT5-V Blackwing also offers My Mode and V-Mode, both of which allow the driver to personalize various attributes of the vehicle’s performance.
Brembo Performance Brakes
Standard Brembo performance brakes provide insane stopping power, allowing drivers to safely push the sedan to its limits. The braking system incorporates staggered 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, both of which clamp down on massive rotors to produce friction.
