The new Cadillac Blackwing sedans are offered as the most track-capable production vehicles to ever wear the Caddy crest, with fire-breathing performance for the weekends, and backside-coddling luxury for the commute. Now, one digital artist is taking things a step further by rendering this new Cadillac Blackwing coupe supercar.
Coming to us from Marouane Bembli, a.k.a. TheSketchMonkey, this Cadillac Blackwing supercar is based on the standard (non-Blackwing) 2022 Cadillac CT5-V sedan. However, after a good deal of massaging, the end result is decidedly much more aggressive and sporty.
TheSketchMonkey profiles his design work in an 11-minute video, explaining his thought process in creating the new Caddy supercar. From the off, the artist admits that he’s quite the fan of the current Cadillac design language, discussing the flow of the lines used and what makes them so good – for example, the lower styling line that stretches across the lower half of the body, intersecting with a small winglet in the front fascia.
“Details like that is [sic] what makes a good car design,” TheSketchMonkey explains. “You need to think about the graphic features in the front and how they connect in some way to the lines that goes [sic] on in the rest of the car.”
TheSketchMonkey also praises Cadillac’s decision to equip a six-speed manual transmission on both Cadillac Blackwing sedans (CT4-V Blackwing, CT5-V Blackwing). However, as the artist points out, “the only thing missing would be a coupe version of a modern Cadillac Blackwing.”
Indeed, a super Cadillac with modern styling and top-shelf performance does make for an enticing combination. The new rendering pulls it off with flying colors by making the CT5-V longer and lower, with an extended hood line, larger wheels, and chopped roofline. The new Cadillac Blackwing supercar also boasts cab-back proportions that enhance the overall styling changes with even more visual punch.
As for the engine specs, TheSketchMonkey suggests the V16 from the Cadillac Sixteen concept. Sure, we can dream.

I know it will never happen, but that actually looks really good!
That nice, Am all N Cadillac build it
Pretty cool but camaro is cheaper and it would be the same sightlines
Beautiful car. GM is the greatest at making cars that are pretty awesome that nobody knows about.
Ok I have my 2015 ctsv it’s going down to Hennessy in the Spring for a little more juice I’m good
I’d take a ATS-V coupe over a Camaro just like I’d take this.
Now that is a coupe I could buy to replace my 2012 CTS coupe.
TONY ROMA IF YOU SEE THIS GET IT DONE AND TAKE OUR MONEY !
P.S. ADD A LT 5 WITH 755 HORSES
Wrong…..they also need all wheel drive or they will never keep up or out run the likes of BMW M5 CS ! You can’t put over 600 hp to the ground with out going up in smoke short of slicks……and as long as GM fails to see this glaring like of traction, less HP and all wheel drive cars that cost $50k less will run circles around these new Caddy’s…….END OF STORY…….And being a GM Man I feel sick about this fact because I love the look and power the new Caddy,s offer and would buy one in a HEART BEAT except for this very fact !!!!!
Actually, the CT4 Blackwing recently ran a 2:52 around Virginia International Raceway…..slightly faster than what Car and Driver got out of the current M5 comp. with the AWD turned on. We don’t yet know what the CT5 Blackwing will do, but I doubt it’ll be slower. Don’t get me wrong, living in a northern climate and having owned 2 V models, I would have liked to see the option of AWD, but I still think these Blackwings are going to beat the M cars.
I have an 18V and have zero issues putting power down and I’m not on slicks either and it has a custom dyno.
Drive your machine, learn the machine and buy good tires haha, you can buy sticky street tires as well.
Sounds like operator error.
Sure can tell he doesn’t work for GM. They wouldn’t know what to do with someone who can actually design. The Bill Mitchell days are long, long gone.
If Cadillac is designing a new halo car, I pray it is starting with the all wheel drive ultium platform. A 1000HP AWD sedan should be able to put Cadillac on an even footing with the Tesla S and end any discussions about the Germans. There is no reason they can’t have this in development and on the road by 2024, but I think we all know it won’t happen.
Can you feel this SLAP, wake up, it’s Cadillac a Mary Barra disaster.
This has C7 written all over it, looks pretty sweet, where’s the convertible? 😃
Now, make in into a drop-top! W O W.
Been a long time since I could say something positive about potential at gm but this car would be a home run in ICE form.
WAYYYYYY better than the sedan.
Bring back Cadillac coupes and convertibles. Enough sedans, SUVs, and crossovers already!!
WOW. That 2 door looks great. Will it make production? Will it have a 6 speed manual?
I just got my 22 CT5 V Black Wing, waited almost 11 months for it, but I’d wait as long as it might take for one of these. Make mine Orange just like this one…. I am sure this will never happen…..but I guess it’s nice to dream. I do like my Black Wing, very happy with it….
