The introduction of the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing ultra-performance model represented a major upgrade to the CT5 lineup for the 2022 model year. Taking the CT5-V to the next level, the CT5-V Blackwing is powered by Cadillac’s supercharged 6.2L V8 engine (production code LT4), which produces 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission sourced from Tremec, while a Cadillac 10-speed automatic is available as an option. It also features unique front and rear fascias, upgraded chassis and suspension systems, upgraded performance brakes, and two available carbon fiber aero packages.
Meanwhile, the “regular” CT5-V packs Cadillac’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine (production code LGY), pumping out a very healthy 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
The 2022 Cadillac CT5 is produced at the Cadillac Lansing Grand River Plant in Michigan for all markets except for China, alongside the Cadillac CT4 sedan.
