The Cadillac brand of General Motors Co. in Detroit today introduced the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package — a more track-focused chassis offering that is designed to enhance the dynamic behavior of the vehicle on all road and track conditions.
The new chassis package is engineered to improve driving precision and increase corner speeds without compromising the luxury and refinement that define the Cadillac brand, the automaker says.
“For 20 years, V-Series has represented Cadillac’s commitment to performance, technology and craftsmanship, serving as the purest expression of the brand’s core values,” says John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac. “We wanted to put an exclamation mark on this era of Cadillac excellence and offer enthusiasts the utmost in driving exhilaration.”
Key Precision Package features include:
- Increased spring rates, larger front stabilizer bar and revised suspension bushings.
- New front steering knuckles and rear suspension toe links which allow for more aggressive wheel alignment for track usage.
- Recalibrated subsystems: MagneRide dampers, steering, chassis controls and Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD).
- Carbon ceramic brake package.
The Precision Package enhancements are designed to improve steering precision into the corner apex, increase stability on corner exit, and offer more road feel for spirited driving situations.
“We built this vehicle to set records on some of toughest tracks around the world and reward the most discerning driving enthusiast,” says Brandon Vivian, executive chief engineer at Cadillac. “This new Precision Package will enable the CT5-V Blackwing to be incredibly light on its feet at all speeds — both on road and track.”
Like the 2025 CT5-V Blackwing that debuted earlier this year, Precision Performance Package versions will have:
- Redesigned grille and front fascia with aero ground effects and front fenders.
- Three new colors: Drift Metallic, Deep Space Metallic, Typhoon Metallic.
- 33-inch-diagonal LED color touchscreen display.
- Available enhanced in-vehicle Performance Data Recorder with input from racing-obsessed GM engineers and designers.
- New Performance in-vehicle app.
- 2L Supercharged V-8 rated at 668 horsepower and 659 lb.-ft. torque with 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing is produced at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly facility with globally sourced parts. Production for the CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package will begin in early 2025. Additional details and pricing will be announced in the future.
