The beast that murdered the CTS at no fault of his own~

"The CT5 debuted at the 2019 New York Auto Show. Unlike its predecessor, the CTS, and the flagship CT6, the CT5's fastback bodystyle draws inspiration from the Cadillac fastback models from the late 1940s. The CT5 went on sale in the fall of 2019 and is available in four trim levels (Luxury, Premium Luxury, Sport, and V).

The base model CT5 is powered by the 2.0 L LSY turbocharged I4 producing 237 hp (177 kW) at 5000 rpm and 258 lb⋅ft (350 N⋅m) of torque at 1500-4000 rpm. The CT5 is also offered with an optional 3.0 L LGY twin turbocharged V6 which produces 335 hp (250 kW) and 400 lb⋅ft (542 N⋅m) of torque in the standard CT5 or 360 hp (268 kW) at 5400 rpm and 405 lb⋅ft (549 N⋅m) of torque at 2350-4000 rpm in the CT5-V. The only transmission offered is a 10-speed automatic. In 2021, Cadillac began offering their semi-autonomous driving system, Super Cruise, as an optional feature. The Super Cruise package costs additional $2500, and is the second generation of Super Cruise technology, adding lane change on demand.

The CT5 went on sale in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a starting price of $36,895. In Canada, the starting price was $41,998.

Cadillac unveiled the high-performance CT5-V on May 30, 2019 alongside the Cadillac CT4-V. It replaced the CTS-V Sport and the XTS-V Sport. The CT5-V is powered by the 3.0 L LGY twin turbocharged V6 producing 360 hp (268 kW) at 5400 rpm and 405 lb⋅ft (549 N⋅m) of torque at 2350-4000 rpm. In the U.S., it carried a starting price of $47,695 for 2020.

The CT5-V Blackwing was announced in early 2021 for the 2022 model year as a higher performance version of the CT5-V and is considered to be the spiritual successor to the Cadillac CTS-V.nIt features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 668 hp (498 kW) and 659 lb⋅ft (893 N⋅m) of torque, which comes standard mated with a 6-speed manual transmission, and is also available with an optional 10-speed automatic. According to Cadillac, they claim that the incoming CT5-V Blackwing will have a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 3.4 seconds with a 10-speed automatic transmission along with a top speed of 209 mph. Upon release, it was announced by Cadillac that the CT5-V Blackwing, alongside the smaller CT4-V Blackwing, would be the last gasoline powered V models that Cadillac would produce.

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is also available with carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes. The optional carbon-ceramic system (which is copper-free) is around 64 pounds (29 kg) lighter than the standard cast-iron system. This is the first time Cadillac has offered a carbon-ceramic brake package."
