The 2024 Blackwing Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V performance sedans are now available from the American automaker and feature some tweaks and improvements over last year’s model.
One of the biggest changes for the CT5-V Blackwing is the availability of GM’s Super Cruise driver assistance feature on cars equipped with the 10-speed automatic transmission. Super Cruise enables hands-free driving and on-demand automatic lane changes on certain stretches of US highways.
To celebrate 20 years of Cadillac V-Series models, the CT5-V Blackwing adds a special grille head and rocker ID to the mix, as well as a unique “wake up” animation in the driver information display . New colors for the 2024 model year are also offered as options, with Velocity Red, Cyber Yellow Metallic, Coastal Blue Metallic and Black Diamond Tricoat added to the paint list.

The smaller CT4-V Blackwing gets the same benefits as its big brother for the 2024 model year, minus the availability of Super Cruise.
The twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that’s good for 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque is still there, as is the standard six-speed manual transmission and optional 10-speed automatic. The Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 suspension remains standard, while an aero package that delivers the most downforce ever for a V-Series model is offered as an optional extra.
Back to the CT5-V Blackwing, it remains the most powerful sedan in Cadillac history, with a hand-built 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the hood making an impressive 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque. As with its little brother, the CT5-V Blackwing comes standard with a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox, while a performance-tuned GM Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic is available for extra cash.
The 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing starts at $94,690 ($1,195 including destination charge) and the 2024 CT4-V Blackwing has an MSRP of $62,890 ($1,395 including destination charge).
