General Motors and Forza – a racing game on available on Xbox consoles – recently announced that the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing would be made available for Forza Horizon 5. Now, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray and the 2023 Cadillac V-Series.R will both be featured as cover cars on the upcoming Forza Motorsport video game.
Intended as the more dedicated racing game – while Forza Horizon is focused on open-world adventures – Forza Motorsport will showcase the two GM performance machines on its cover art. Set to be officially unveiled at the June 11th, 2023 Xbox Games Showcase, Forza Motorsport will also provide a walkthrough of its single player career gameplay on June 13th, 2023.
As previously mentioned, the CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing made their first appearance in Forza Horizon 5 with the Series 19 update. In fact, both vehicles actually had different windows of availability:
- The CT5-V Blackwing was available as a seasonal reward from April 6th to April 12th, 2023.
- The CT4-V Blackwing was available to players as a seasonal reward from April 20th to April 26th, 2023.
As a reminder, the Cadillac V-Series.R was co-developed between Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing, and Dallara, and features the naturally aspirated LMC55R 5.5L V8 engine paired with the LMDh common hybrid system. Peak output is rated at 670 horsepower, per series regulations, all of which is sent to the wheels via a seven-speed sequential gearbox.

Been waiting for this game forever. Please be good.
That’s awesome makes me want to rent a video game console… I wish they still did that but anyway that V-SERIES R looks awesome like something out of speed racer the E-Ray looks nice to… This is a good way for GM to market the E-Ray as well as the Cadillac CT4 AND 5. Now include the Camaro ZL1 in this game as a nice send off to the name.
CT4/5 BWs and ZL1 are already in Forza Horizon. No reason it wouldn’t be in Forza.
I hope the Camaro SS is in it. Sometimes I don’t always want the most powerful one.
