The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a high-performance variant of the classic mid-size luxurious sports sedan. The 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, which is combined with rear-wheel drive capabilities, boasts up to 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque for the most thrilling and pulse-pounding performance. A six-speed manual transmission with active rev matching and no-lift shifting comes standard, but a 10-speed automatic is also available for purchase.
The 6.2L engine is capable of accelerating up to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds, compared to 4.6 seconds for the regular CT5-V sports sedan. When tested on a race track, the Blackwing achieved a torrid top speed of over 200 MPH.
