2026 Cadillac CT5-V 4dr Blackwing Sedan

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
• 0–60 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

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.
