Cadillac has announced the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package, elevating the performance of its luxury sport sedan to new heights. This latest chassis package is meticulously engineered to enhance the dynamic behavior of the vehicle, offering improved ride isolation and refined precision for road and track enthusiasts.
The Precision Package introduces several key features designed to improve path precision and cornering speeds. These include increased spring rates, a larger front stabilizer bar, revised suspension bushings, new front steering knuckles and rear suspension toe links. These enhancements allow for more aggressive wheel alignment suitable for track usage. Additionally, the package includes recalibrated subsystems like MagneRide dampers, steering, chassis controls and an Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD), along with a carbon ceramic brake package.
John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac, emphasized the brand’s commitment to performance and craftsmanship, stating, “For 20 years, V-Series has represented Cadillac’s commitment to performance, technology and craftsmanship, serving as the purest expression of the brand’s core values. We wanted to put an exclamation mark on this era of Cadillac excellence and offer enthusiasts the utmost in driving exhilaration.”
Brandon Vivian, executive chief engineer at Cadillac, added, “We built this vehicle to set records on some of the toughest tracks around the world and reward the most discerning driving enthusiast. This new Precision Package will enable the CT5-V Blackwing to be incredibly light on its feet at all speeds — both on road and track.”
The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing debuted earlier this year, featuring a redesigned grille and front fascia, three new colors (Drift Metallic, Deep Space Metallic and Typhoon Metallic), a 33-inch-diagonal LED color touchscreen display and a 6.2L Supercharged V-8 engine rated at 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque. It is available with either a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
Production of the CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package is set to begin in early 2025, with details on pricing and delivery yet to be unveiled at the time of writing.
