Outfitted with a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 with 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque, the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is among the most powerful sedans on the planet. As it turns out, the automaker gave some thought to the idea of making it even more powerful.
General Motors has a plethora of potent engines it could have selected to power the CT5-V Blackwing, including the supercharged 6.2-liter LT5 V8 found in the C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Cadillac thought about using this engine but quickly ran into some issues it couldn’t overcome, V-Series Blackwing chief engineer Mirza Grebovic recently told
The new CT5-V Blackwing may be more advanced and have more power, but if you’re in the market for a V model from Cadillac that’s more practical, we’d suggest looking at this CTS-V Wagon currently up for auction through
Bring A Trailer.
This particular CTS-V Wagon is a 2012 model and was purchased new by the seller from Moore Cadillac in Chantilly, Virginia. It is being sold with two extra sets of wheels, a spare sway bar, clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title and has 64,000 miles (~103,000 km) on the clock.
Immediately making the car stand out is the Crystal Red Tintcoat paint that accentuates the car’s design. The car is also sitting on a set of black 19-inch aluminum wheels with 255/40 Uniroyal Tiger Paw front tires and 285/35 Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position tires at the rear. Like other CTS-V models there is an adaptive suspension with magnetic dampers. The owner of this car has also fitted Eibach lowering springs, the listing reveals.
