Go cadillacV-net.com and you will find a plethora of information about the Blackwings. If you have a 6 letter order# , you can give it to Rob the Administrator and your vehicle can be tracked during the build. If history repeats itself, the last year models will be done being built by July 2023. Otherwise you need to re-apply for an allotment for 2024. It is not automatically re-applied by the dealer for you. My friend thought and was told that his 2022 was on its way, when it was NOT. He had to re-apply for a 2023 and it cost him another $7000 grand for the same exact spec car. The 2023’s have been coming much better than the 2022’s, due to chips and carbon fiber. If you want carbon fiber you will have a long wait ! But, in the end, it might be worth it. Some people have deleted the CF just to get a car sooner.

You need to find a completely different dealer. I ordered my CT5-V BW back in October 2021 and received it in June 2022. The 2022 builds were all finished by July 2022. People who did not receive a 2022 were supposedly told to re-submit their build orders again for a 2023 model . Some 23’s have already begun arriving. Carbon Fiber packages was the biggest delay. Do you even have a 6 letter build # from the dealer. If not, you do not have an order placed with Cadillac.

There aren’t any at dealers to even test drive ! The ones you see are only available for journalist and car TV shows to do a review. You can find regular CT5’s and 4’s at dealers……but not the same in power as a Blackwing.

I heard the number of 1500 last year , when GM said 2022 would be the last year of V8 engines. (Now known to be not true.) When I heard that, I said to myself that I have to try and get me one of them, if possible. I ordered it October and was told by my dealer/owner that they have no clue on who will be able to order one. If you Google the question ….how many 2022 CT5-V Blackwings will be built….it responds with an answer from Oct. 4th that “no more than 3000 total units” between the CT4-V and CT5-V will be built. I believe I saw on TV that they wanted to build 1500 of each. They are now saying that for 2023 only 120 units will be built as 120th Anniversary Editions. If you do the math , Cadillac started in 1902 and 2023 is actually 121 years.

I am beginning to get annoyed with Cadillac. First they announce that 2021 Blackwings will be a limited run of 125 units. Then 2022 is supposed to be the “final” run of 1500 units. Now 2023 is going to have 125 units. Cadillac is pulling the same BS stunt that Dodge did when they made 2500 units of the “limited edition” Shaker hood. People paid extra for the privilege and then the next year they went and made “Un-numbered” Shakers by the thousands. Makes their “limited edition” purchase not so limited anymore.

Ordered mine in October 2021 and just received word on 3-12-2022 that it is built or was being built. Should take delivery sometime late April. Summit white/ automatic, no carbon. I’m just happy that I was able to secure one.
