Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing May Return With a Supercharged V8, Report Says

According to a recent report from Muscle Cars & Trucks, Cadillac is planning to bring back the CT5-V Blackwing with its signature supercharged V8 engine. 2-liter LT4 V8 that made the previous version a standout, though early speculation suggests engineers may have found ways to extract even more horsepower from the powertrain.

The report, which cites unnamed sources familiar with the brand’s plans, indicates the CT5-V Blackwing will remain a rear-wheel-drive sedan built for track performance. While Cadillac has not officially confirmed the details, the mention of a supercharged V8 suggests the company is committed to keeping a high-performance, gas-powered option in its lineup, even as the industry shifts toward electrification.

For enthusiasts, this is welcome news. The Blackwing name has become synonymous with raw, analog driving feel in an era of increasingly digital and hybrid powertrains. If the rumored power bump materializes, it could push the sedan well past the current 668-horsepower mark, putting it in direct competition with the BMW M5 CS and Mercedes-AMG E63 S.

That kind of firepower would make the CT5-V Blackwing one of the most thrilling sedans on the market.
