The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing represents the pinnacle of American performance engineering. This comprehensive specifications guide breaks down the key details of this legendary performance sedan, from its supercharged powerplant to its precision-tuned chassis.
Engine Specifications
At the heart of the CT5-V Blackwing lies a hand-built, supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine that produces 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. The engine features a 1.7-liter four-lobe supercharger operating at 9.0 psi boost pressure, delivering impressive power across the entire RPM range.
Key engine features include:
- Titanium intake valves for lightweight construction
- Advanced aluminum cylinder heads for superior heat management
- High-flow air intake system with 46% improved airflow
- Direct fuel injection for optimal combustion
- 17.4-gallon fuel tank capacity
This powerplant combines proven engineering with modern manufacturing techniques, drawing heavily from Corvette technology. The engine requires premium unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 91, though 93 octane is recommended for optimal performance.
Transmission Specifications
The CT5-V Blackwing offers a unique choice: a six-speed manual transmission as standard or an optional 10-speed automatic. Both options deliver exceptional performance but offer different driving experiences.
The standard Tremec TR-6060 manual transmission includes:
- Twin-disc clutch rated for the engine’s full torque output
- Active rev-matching technology for smooth downshifts
- No-lift shift capability for uninterrupted acceleration
- Short shifter ratio providing precise gear changes
For those preferring automatic convenience, the optional 10-speed automatic features quick-shift technology and performance-optimized calibration. Both transmissions enable a top speed exceeding 200 mph.
