Most powerful Cadillac ever

Air intake airflow is improved by 46 percent vs. the CTS-V

Compact, high-output 1.7L four-lobe Eaton supercharger with small-diameter rotors that enable boost to be generated earlier in the rpm band for instantaneous response

Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads are stronger and handle heat better than conventional aluminum-alloy heads

Lightweight titanium intake valves

Track-capable wet-sump oiling and vent system with external oil separator and drainback

Fans of the outgoing Cadillac CTS-V take note: The CT5-V Blackwing is the rightful successor to that performance powerhouse, even though it's wearing a different name. The new car will be powered by the same supercharged V-8 engine, but its updated styling and new interior are what Cadillac is pinning its high-performance hopes on. The Blackwing appears well equipped to take on rivals such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, the BMW M3, and the Mercedes-AMG C63. To truly win against these world-beating sports sedans the CT5-V Blackwing will have to provide more than just horsepower; it'll need to deliver brilliant ride and handling to accompany its brutal acceleration. Based on how good the CTS-V proved to be in our comparison testing, we're looking forward to seeing what the CT5-V Blackwing has to offer.
