NEXT STAGE: Addition in 2021
Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing has a 6.2-liter supercharged 668-hp V-8 engine with 659 pound-feet of torque. A manual six-speed transmission is standard. General Motors estimates that its top track speed is over 200 mph, and it can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds using the optional automatic transmission. The high-performance variant is built on Cadillac’s rear-wheel-drive architecture. Racing elements such as shock tower braces, an underside shear plate and thicker rear cross members to improve chassis rigidity, and the stiffer structure leads to better steering response and handling, Cadillac said. Pricing starts at $84,990, including shipping, with deliveries set to happen late this summer.
