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.

It used to be that cars were changed year to year to make them look different so that more can be sold. Now the big deal is a big announcement about a new color, BIG DEAL. Generous Motors is slowly going away because of their model offerings. Buick is a joke, NO CARS! Cadillac is not what it was. Buick offers cars to the commies in China but not to the free market. I for one, have probably bought my last Buick or Cadillac, cars from other manufacturers are looking better and better and at least they are American made. Spoken by a GM retiree.
Typical GM innovation!
A wife’s or career lady’s color choice. Would be interesting in a mild pink for this group and the Mary K crowd. Caddy had mild pink in the fifties and early sixties. Mild pink with white leather interior.
It looks like something you would see on a cheap car. Does nothing for the brand.
Not my cup of tea but it is a choice for someone who likes it and wants to stand out. Of the two Vs, the Blackwing looks the best for this color.
Why don’t you like it? Not micro fiber on the mirrors?
You are tripping bro.
I was just wondering is all. I know you’re a big fan of the micro fiber mirrors.
Not a color I would order either but happy to see color is coming back. So tired of white/black/silver as the only thing on the road.
Makes it look cheap.
The Chevy-ization of Cadillac continues.
