The big news for the 2022 Cadillac CT5 was the addition of the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing ultra-performance model to the lineup. Taking the CT5-V to the next level, the CT5-V Blackwing is powered by GM’s supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine, which produces 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission sourced from Tremec, while a GM 10-speed automatic is available as an option. It also features unique front and rear fascias, upgraded chassis and suspension systems, upgraded performance brakes, and two available carbon fiber aero packages.

Back to the “regular” CT5-V, it packs GM’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 LGY powerplant, pumping out a very healthy 360 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
The 2022 Cadillac CT5 family is produced at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan. The Cadillac CT4 sedan and the Chevy Camaro muscle car are also made at the same facility.

Slow news day Mr. Brown?
You posted the same story a month ago on February 6
Lol you caught that to.
If you’re referring to this story…
https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/02/2022-cadillac-ct5-gets-new-blaze-orange-metallic-color-first-look/
then it’s about the CT5, not the CT5-V.
Sorry that our free content is an inconvenience. I sure hope you’re not being forced to read it.
No matter how many colors GM offers or how many engine options, there’s nothing distinctive to complement the style and heritage of the Cadillac brand. IMHO, this division has lost their way.
Make the Cadillac distinctive again, with elaborate styling and a theme.
Some dealers have a post on their web sites saying “last one” meaning that the CT-4 -V-V Blackwing is out of production then I read they are offering a new color. HUH? Anybody have any idea about the production of both Blackwings?
Old news, I’ve had my blaze orange Blackwing since September of last year.
Why is Barra still in charge?
Who would you rather have in charge?
