CT5 V-SERIES FEATURES

PERFORMANCE

Power that could take the flag meets control that tames your commute. CT5 V-Series sport sedan boasts features that push performance farther than you ever imagined.

POWERTRAINS

Refined engine power with Active Fuel Management provides fuel efficiency§ on your daily drive and pure adrenaline on your joyride. Turn heads with the 3.0L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine in CT5-V, boasting 360 hp and 550 Nm of torque.

 

Unleash the power of CT5-V Blackwing’s 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, delivering 668 hp and 893 Nm of torque. This remarkable engine is assembled by hand. To celebrate this feat of engineering, the assembler places a signed plaque prominently on the engine cover.

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL

Structurally rigid, yet compliant in an instant. The 2024 V-Series family features the latest generation of Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest reacting suspension technology. It reads the road up to 1,000 times per second and seamlessly adjusts damping for confidence-inspiring ride and handling.

BREMBO® PERFORMANCE BRAKES

Quiet on the road and proven on the track. Brembo performance front brakes give CT5-V confident pedal feel and secure stopping power. On CT5-V Blackwing, front and rear Brembo high-performance brakes as well as enhanced cooling improve brake performance and fade resistance. In addition, the CT5-V Blackwing is the first Cadillac vehicle to offer carbon-ceramic brakes with cross-drilled rotors, resulting in a brake system that is both visually appealing and high-performing.

REAR-WHEEL DRIVE

The foundation for high-performance handling, RWD architecture enables ideal front to rear weight distribution and reduces mass, so carving corners is a breeze. 

TRANSMISSIONS

Right gear, right time, guaranteed. The 10-speed automatic transmission, standard on CT5-V and on CT5-V Blackwing, delivers lightning-fast shifts.

TIRES

Standard summer-only, low-profile tires§ offer race car§ aesthetics and encourage spirited driving at every turn. CT5-V Blackwing boasts Michelin Pilot® Sport 4S summer-only, low-profile tires§. For athleticism on all occasions, CT5-V offers available all-season low-profile, run-flat tires§.  

EXTERIOR

In the CT5 V-Series, form meets function then hits overdrive. This is a dynamic dance of art and engineering. This is a design that drives you.

ARTFUL AERODYNAMICS

Signature V-Series aesthetics serve a powerful purpose. The mesh grille design directs air to the main radiators, cooler and airflow ducts. The front splitter and rear spoiler combine to reduce lift and generate traction. CT5-V Blackwing is aero-obsessed, incorporating 11 different heating and cooling exchanges to help feed its powerhouse engine. This is science applied by the hands of a sculptor.

CARBON FIBER EXTERIOR PACKAGES

To elevate performance design even further, CT5-V Blackwing offers two available Carbon Fiber packages§. More than exterior adornments, aerodynamic touches significantly reduce lift and dramatically improve high-speed handling and control, leaving competition in the dust.

LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS

Engineered to endure, lightweight aluminum alloy wheels on CT5-V reduce unsprung mass for increased performance and come in a variety of designs and finishes for statement-making stopping power. CT5-V Blackwing features forged aluminum alloy wheels with excellent strength-to-weight ratio, plus laser-etched design details that prove V-Series Blackwing thrills in motion and at rest.

Safety features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read the Owner’s Manual for more important safety information.

Due to global Semi-Conductor supply shortages and software issues, GM vehicles may not have some standard features and options. Please check with your local Cadillac dealer to confirm the vehicle’s specifications prior to purchase. Vehicles not equipped with Automatic Stop/Start will be less fuel efficient.
