2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: The Ultimate Caddy

Looking for an American V8 driver's car that also skews to luxury? You want the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

This super-sedan features a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine with 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. 

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, as is rear-wheel drive. 

Hitting 60 mph takes just 3.6 seconds, and this Cadillac will crest 200 mph flat out. 

Standard Magnetic Ride Control features quick-reacting magnetorheological dampers can read the road and react in a split second, allowing this Cadillac to scoot through corners. 

Even in the standard Tour mode, the CT5-V Blackwing absolutely rips.

The CT5-V Blackwing gets an EPA fuel rating of 13 mpg city, 21 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined. Shockingly, despite driving with aggression all of the time, I saw 17.5 mpg after a week of testing. 

The Blackwing also has Cadillac's Performance Data Recorder, which captures high-quality video and includes data points for things like speed, g-forces, engine revs and location around a track.

The Blackwing starts at just $84,990 including $995 for destination, while the German competitors all play in six-figure territory before adding options.
