To celebrate 20 years of V power, the 2024 Cadillac Blackwing models bring special upgrades. Any Cadillac with V in the name gave us power and performance.

The V badge doesn’t date back to the early days of Cadillac, but this single letter stands for performance and power that began 20 years ago wit the 2004 CTS-V. This incredible luxury performance sedan delivered 400 horsepower from a 5.7-liter V8 engine to bring the start of the V-series performance division. Let’s see how Cadillac is celebrating two decades of performance fun with the new 2024 Blackwing models.

The Vs and the Blackwings

In today’s world, we have at least two high-performance variants of each Cadillac sedan. The smaller CT4-V and CT4-V Blackwing and the midsize CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing are the choices. All four models receive 20th Anniversary graphics on the grille and rocker panels, along with an animation in the digital gauge cluster when the vehicle is started. The Blackwing models receive a “Blackwing” badge below the V logo to ensure there’s a differentiation of the models. This is just the beginning of what you’ll find to celebrate performance with these Caddies.

Colors and added tech to the mix

These four Cadillac performance machines offer a choice of newly available colors to give new owners some cool colors to show off while driving. These hues are Velocity Red, Cyber Yellow Metallic, Coastal Blue Metallic, and Black Diamond Tricoat.

On the tech side, the CT5-V Blackwing can be had with the benefits of Cadillac’s Super Cruise. This hands-free driving tech adds $6,785 to the price because it requires a few changes to enable its functionality. To include Super Cruise in this midsize performance-oriented sedan, the car must include the ten-speed automatic transmission and two driver-assist packages.

How much power do each of these Cadillac sedans offer?

These four V models bring incredible power and performance to the lineup. The 2024 Cadillac Blackwing models offer 472 horsepower for the CT4-V version and 668 horsepower for the CT5-V model. The lower-powered versions give you 325 horsepower in the CT4-V, while the CT5-V delivers 360 horsepower for a powerful drive. These four performance-oriented Cadillac sedans bring you the desired driving elements and are a great way for Cadillac to celebrate the V models that have been part of the mix for the past two decades.

Does the CT4-V offer anything more than a powerful engine?

The CT4-V brings you plenty of power from a 2.7-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. This model also includes a quad-tip exhaust system with performance-tuned valves, a limited-slip rear differential, performance traction management, launch control, a Bose 14-speaker audio system, and a sporty appearance package.

Turning to the 2024 Cadillac Blackwing version, you’ll find a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a set of Brembo high-performance brakes, a performance suspension system with Magnetic Ride Control, a custom launch control system with line lock, high-performance tires, and an AKG 15-speaker premium audio system.

What will you find in the CT5-V models?

The regular CT5-V brings you a fantastic 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. This model also includes a standard electronic limited-slip differential, adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes, and a Bose 15-speaker audio system. This version is eligible for Super Cruise, heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, and a 360-degree camera system.

Moving to the 2024 Cadillac Blackwing model of the CT5-V, we find a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine under the hood. This engine churns out 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. The seats and camera system from the regular CT5-V are standard fare on the Blackwing model. This version also includes a sportier setup with an adaptive suspension, an AKG 16-speaker audio system, and an on-track driving instructional experience to help you understand high-performance driving.

Badges and colors bring the celebration to life

Adding special badges and new colors to the mix is enough to make this Cadillac celebration worth the excitement. Of course, these powerful Cadillac sedans are packed with incredible luxury features and technology that make them a lot of fun on any road or track. With four models celebrating 20 years of the V name on these luxury cars, could one of them be right for you?
