If you’re wondering what’s new on the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, you’ll find a few exterior redesigns that improve its aerodynamics and drivability.

For starters, the new mesh grille and secondary grilles all serve a purpose. The mesh grille directs air to the main radiators, cooler, and airflow ducts—in turn, this will create an all-new aerodynamic driving experience.

The 2022 model also features forged aluminum wheels that differ from previous generations. These low-profile wheels reduce road noise, improve track performance, and come in three available finishes.

Did you know the CT5-V Blackwing is powered by the highest output in Cadillac’s history? In the belly of this beast, you’ll find a 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine that pumps out 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. You’ll be able to reach your desired speed in a blink with the 6-speed manual transmission or the available 10-speed automatic transmission.

As you’re driving, you can tailor your experience with Driver Mode Selector, a feature that reconfigures your drive to any of these modes:
