Engine and Transmission
During track testing, the CT5-V has recorded an impressive 0 to 60 time of 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 156 mph. That’s thanks to the 360 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque produced by its 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine and lightning-quick 10-speed automatic transmission. Produced in limited numbers, the CT5-V Blackwing is equipped with a monstrous 6.2L V8 packing a whopping 668 hp, which allows it to reach speeds in excess of 200 mph!
In addition to this incredible performance, the CT5-V offers electronic precision shifting, an engine block heater, and a quad-tipped exhaust system. Multiple drive modes, such as tour, sport, snow/ice, and track help to optimize performance for a variety of conditions. A standard rear-wheel drive layout ensures an especially sporty driving experience.
Chassis
The CT5-V’s blistering straight-line speed is beautifully complemented by its agile handling. Its highly refined suspension consists of a front MacPherson strut with dual lower ball joints and a rear five-link, independent setup. This results in excellent stability and minimal body roll under heavy cornering. The suspension’s dampers feature Magnetic Ride Control, continually adjusting the amount of damping force in real time. Stylish 19-inch wheels and powerful Brembo brakes complete the chassis.
Interior
The CT5-V’s racy cabin has driver-oriented features like deeply bolstered seats, alloy sport pedals, and a digital instrument panel that displays various performance data, including braking force and engine speed, from an available recorder. An optional heads-up display makes it easy to view vehicle speed and navigation directions without having to take your eyes from the road.
A generous amount of passenger space and amenities mean that the CT5-V has no problem taking on the role of a daily driver. Legroom sits at a respective 42.4 inches and 37.9 inches for front and rear passengers. Dual-zone climate control with air filtration, an 18-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a wireless charging station all come standard.
Infotainment
Like the base CT5, this model is equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that features built-in support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Navigating through the system’s menus and apps can be done with the use of an intuitive rotary control mounted to the center console. A standard 15-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system delivers crisp treble and booming bass.
When you consider these amazing features, it’s clear that the CT5-V is the perfect combination of American muscle and luxury. Head down to Randall Cadillac today and explore it for yourself!
