The CT5-V Blackwing was already a top-tier track performer, yet Cadillac saw an opportunity for further refinement. With the facelifted 2025 model, Cadillac introduced the new "Precision Package," offering a suite of enhancements to the supercharged V-8 sedan's chassis.
These upgrades are quite comprehensive. The package includes a larger front stabilizer bar, stiffer springs, and updated suspension bushings. Additionally, it features new front steering knuckles and rear suspension toe links, designed to enable a more aggressive wheel alignment suited for track performance. The Precision Package also boasts a carbon ceramic braking system along with a variety of other enhancements, such as adjustments to the MagneRide dampers, steering system, and electronic limited-slip differential.
Cadillac asserts that these modifications lead to better steering precision when navigating corners, increased stability upon corner exit, and enhanced road feel during spirited driving. Importantly, the automaker assures that these improvements do not compromise the brand’s signature luxury and refinement.
Aesthetic and technological upgrades complement these performance enhancements. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing features a refreshed exterior design and an updated interior highlighted by a new 33-inch curved display. This display integrates Google services, providing access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play store, enhancing the car’s infotainment capabilities.
Under the hood, the CT5-V Blackwing retains its formidable supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, which delivers an impressive 668 horsepower and 892 Nm of torque. Buyers have the option to pair this powerful engine with either a six-speed manual transmission or a ten-speed automatic transmission.
The vehicles equipped with the Precision Package are set to be available early next year, with pricing details to be revealed closer to the launch date. However, the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will start arriving at dealerships this summer. While official pricing has yet to be announced, the cost of the carbon ceramic brakes alone—which add $9,595 to the price of the 2024 CT4-V Blackwing—suggests that the Precision Package will likely exceed the $10,000 mark.
Cadillac’s new Precision Package for the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing brings significant performance upgrades without sacrificing the luxury the brand is known for. These enhancements, combined with the car's refreshed design and advanced technological features, make the CT5-V Blackwing a formidable option for those seeking both track-ready performance and everyday drivability.
