Cadillac Makes The CT5 V Blackwing Even Better With Precision Package
The world's coolest manual transmission super sedan gets even cooler as Cadillac introduces the Precision Package for the CT5 V Blackwing.
Cadillac Introduces the Precision Package
Cadillac recently announced the addition of the Precision Package to its already impressive CT5-V Blackwing. This upgrade aims to enhance the car's "dynamic behavior" on both streets and tracks. The package introduces a series of chassis tweaks and refinements designed to elevate the driving experience. These enhancements underscore Cadillac's commitment to blending high performance with luxury and sophistication.
Key Components of the Precision Package
The Precision Package offers an extensive array of upgrades. It features a larger front stabilizer, stiffer springs, and revised suspension bushings, which contribute to a more aggressive wheel alignment suitable for track usage. New front steering knuckles and rear suspension toe links further refine the vehicle's handling. Additionally, the package includes a sophisticated carbon ceramic braking system, alongside improvements to the MagneRide dampers, steering, and electronic limited-slip differential.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics
According to Cadillac, the Precision Package significantly boosts the CT5-V Blackwing's steering precision and stability during cornering. "We built this vehicle to set records on some of the toughest tracks around the world and reward the most discerning driving enthusiast," said Cadillac chief engineer Brandon Vivian. These enhancements are designed to provide a better road feel, making the car more responsive and enjoyable for spirited driving.
Luxury and Performance in Harmony
Despite the focus on performance, Cadillac ensures that the Precision Package does not compromise the brand's signature luxury and refinement. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing retains its sophisticated styling and upgraded interior, featuring a new 33-inch curved display with Google built-in, offering access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store. This blend of high-tech amenities with top-tier performance features highlights Cadillac's dedication to providing a balanced driving experience.
Powerful Performance Specifications
The heart of the CT5-V Blackwing remains its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, producing 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission, catering to driving purists and those seeking a more automated experience. The combination of this potent engine with the Precision Package’s enhancements ensures the CT5-V Blackwing is poised to deliver thrilling performance on both road and track.
Availability and Pricing
Cadillac plans to release the Precision Package for the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing early next year, with pricing details to be announced closer to the launch date. Given that carbon-ceramic brakes alone add nearly $10,000 to similar models, the Precision Package is expected to significantly increase the car's overall cost, though it will likely remain competitively priced compared to rivals like the BMW M5. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing itself is set to arrive at dealerships this summer, bringing with it an exciting blend of enhanced performance and luxurious features.
