Cadillac CT5-V Performance Overview

Cadillac’s CT5-V performance range has been in production from 2020 to 2025, and across 10 verified tests it traces a clear split between the standard V-series sedan and the higher-output Blackwing. Launched with gasoline power only, the lineup spans the twin-turbo LGY V6 and the supercharged LT4 V8, with output ranging from 360 to 668 hp. Early testing established the baseline at 4.8 seconds to 60 mph for the 2020 Sedan, while a 2021 Sedan recorded 4.9 seconds, defining the entry point for the model’s measured performance range.

The major step came in 2022, when the Blackwing Sedan cut the run to 60 mph to 3.5 seconds and reset the car’s performance ceiling. That pace carried into later tests, including a 2024 Blackwing Sedan at 3.6 seconds, while quarter-mile capability moved into the low-11-second range.

By 2025, the quickest factory version is the Blackwing Precision Package Sedan, posting the model’s best figures of 3.4 seconds to 60 mph and 11.4 seconds at 127.3 mph in the quarter mile. As it stands today, the CT5-V line covers a narrow but meaningful spread, from mid-4-second V6 sport sedan pace to 3.4-second supercharged V8 acceleration.
