Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

Car and Driver loved this car the moment they first drove it, and it stayed in their hearts all the way through to the time when selections for the Top were to be made. The obvious reasons are the 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque available from the supercharged 6.2L V8. But there’s more:

What C&D liked:

- That powertrain
- Standard 6-speed manual gearbox
- Rear-wheel drive for oodles of fun
- Steering feel, brake feel, everything feel
- Exhilarating ride
- Very, very quick
- Tight chassis

“… the CT5-V Blackwing is one of the best sports sedans not only in recent memory but ever made.”
