2026 Cadillac CT5-V

2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed Manual, Build #027, Final Year of Production The 2026 Cadillac model year marks the final year of production for the CT5-V Blackwing as we know it and this example is exactly the configuration collectors will be hunting in five years: a hand-built 668-horsepower supercharged V8 , a genuine 6-speed manual gearbox , and rear-wheel drive only. Build sequence #86-027 , presented in Summit White over a two-tone Sky Cool Gray with Jet Black leather interior, optioned at $108,720 MSRP . The Headline Numbers Engine: Hand-built 6.2L supercharged LT4 V8 Output: 668 horsepower & 659 lb-ft of torque Transmission: Tremec 6-speed manual with Active Rev Match and No-Lift Shift Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive 060 mph: 3.4 seconds Top Speed: 200+ mph Build Number: 86-027 (VIN-serialized on the carbon fiber Performance Steering Wheel) Powertrain & Chassis The Blackwing's LT4 is hand-assembled at GM's Performance Build Center and signed by its master engine builder the same family of engine that powered the C7 Corvette Z06. Pairing it with the standard 6-speed manual is what separates this car from nearly everything else on the market in 2026: a true three-pedal sport sedan, no AWD safety net, no hybrid assist. Just supercharger whine, a twin-disc clutch rated to the engine's full torque, and a short-throw shifter. The chassis package is equally serious: Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 Electronic limited-slip rear differential (eLSD) Performance Traction Management with five distinct modes Performance Data Recorder with track telemetry Brembo high-performance braking system Quad-tip performance exhaust This Build's Optional Equipment ($9,625) Sky Cool Gray with Jet Black Accents Leather Seating Surfaces & Trim Package $2,890 Ultra View Sunroof $1,450 Red Package (Red wheel center caps & red accent decals) $1,295 19 Forged Aluminum Wheels in Satin Graphite Dark $600 Red Brake Calipers with V-Series logo $595 Torch Red Seat Belts $400 Gloss Black V-Badging Nameplate Package $295 Interior & Technology High-Performance carbon fiber steering wheel with V-Mode button, PTM switch, and VIN serialization plaque ( #86-027 ) 18-way power front sport seats with heating, ventilation, and active massage AKG Studio 16-speaker premium audio system Sueded microfiber wrapped headliner and A-pillars 33-inch curved LED display with Google Built-In Head-up display Rear camera mirror with HD Surround Vision Wireless device charging 5G in-vehicle connectivity Premium adaptive headlamp system Power-folding heated outside mirrors Hands-free decklid release Why This Particular Car Three things put #027 in a category of its own: Final-year production. Cadillac has confirmed the current Blackwing platform ends with the 2026 model year. Whatever replaces the V-Series will not be a naturally aspirated, manual, RWD V8 sedan. The manual transmission. Manual-equipped Blackwings have historically held value at a meaningful premium over their automatic counterparts, and that gap is widening. A low VIN sequence number. The 027 sequence is a number collectors notice. The VIN-serialized steering wheel plaque cannot be replaced without VIN-match documentation from Cadillac. This is the spec sheet enthusiasts are calling Cadillac dealerships looking for. It is also, increasingly, the spec sheet that simply isn't on the ground.
