Hold onto your hats, performance car enthusiasts! The automotive landscape may be shifting towards electrification, but Cadillac is proving that the heart-pounding thrill of a V-8 isn’t going anywhere just yet. The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is here to make a statement with its meaner face and the same intoxicating 668-HP V-8 that has made it a darling among speed demons.
In a world where the mere mention of a V-8 can send shivers down the spine of car lovers, fearing yet another beloved engine has been axed, the CT5-V Blackwing stands as a beacon of hope. The 2025 model year brings with it not just a continuation of the supercharged V-8 glory, but also enhancements that promise to elevate the driving experience to new heights.
The CT5-V and its more ferocious sibling, the CT5-V Blackwing, are returning with a vengeance, sporting new looks and technological advancements that are sure to get your pulse racing. The commitment to a twin-turbo V-6 and a supercharged V-8 is a clear signal that Cadillac isn’t ready to give up on gas-fueled performance just yet.
Let’s talk aesthetics.
The facelift of the CT5-V series might not add extra horsepower, but it certainly adds charisma. With cleaner and more aggressive visual cues, these modern sport sedans now wear their power on their sleeves—or should I say, their grilles? The one-piece vertical LED running lights and stacked LED projector lights carve out a more sculpted and upscale presence, perfectly complementing the animated walk-up sequence that greets you with open arms.
The CT5-V Blackwing has a bigger lower grille and more radiator air inlets to maintain its performance.
It’s not just about looking good; it’s about maintaining the beastly performance that can propel this machine beyond 200 mph. And for those who love the tactile feel of a manual transmission, the six-speed option remains, with a 10-speed automatic available for those who prefer it.
Inside, a new 33-inch curved 9K LED display takes center stage, offering a wealth of information and entertainment options. The performance app has been refreshed, allowing drivers to customize how they view their performance data, whether through circular gauges or a real-time strip chart.
For the track enthusiasts, the Performance Data Recorder is now more robust than ever, with 34 recorded data points to help shave seconds off your lap times. It’s clear that more Blackwing owners take their cars to the track than Corvette owners, and Cadillac has catered to these performance diehards with gusto.
As we eagerly await the arrival of the 2025 CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing, we can only speculate on the pricing. But one thing is for certain: whether you’re looking for a daily driver with a kick or a track-ready powerhouse, Cadillac has you covered.
The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a testament to the enduring allure of the V-8 engine. It’s a car that not only meets the demands of the present but also honors the legacy of performance that Cadillac has built over the years. So, buckle up and prepare for a ride that promises to be as electrifying as it is gas-fueled.
