Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: The Fastest Caddy Ever
Powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8, the CT5-V Blackwing tops 200 mph.
It’s also the last internal-combustion sedan Cadillac will produce before going all electric. Dan Neil harnesses its power
A 2022 CADILLAC CT5-V Blackwing landed at my house a few weeks ago, trailing clouds of indemnifying paperwork and releases. Cadillac wanted me to know that the guttering, reptilian supersedan in my possession would be monitored at all times via the onboard Performance Data Recorder, so don’t do anything stupid. That narrowed my options.
This maximum-effort version of the CT5 sport sedan is sometimes called a four-door Chevrolet Corvette because of its gale-force engine, a 6.2-liter supercharged V8; and because it offers enthusiasts a six-speed manual transmission, with heavy-duty clutch, short-throw shifter and three pedals.
