I'm one of the biggest GM haters out there and I'd still have to admit this is up there on the top-tier sports sedan list. I can't believe they built it, but I'm glad they did.
Thanks for your honest opinion.
Me too. I’m also pleasantly surprised at this marvel of a vehicle.
Been on top since 2007.
The CTS-V dominated 3
Generation's. Only thing its
Not best at is drag racing due to rwd
@@WindyCity1992 RWD isn't good for drag racing? That's news to me.
@@embiggens1pretty sure he means RWD isn’t good vs AWD
This is the ultimate performance sedan from Cadillac the color is tasteful and still offers a manual, this is awesome!
I’m so glad that you like this one
Their ultimate performance still loses by 2 bus lengths too a g80 m3
@@user-my4xu4gf1zPerformance aside, the M3's front end is an eyesore!! One of the ugliest Sport sedans on the market!

Me trying to watch the NFL game and Raiti at the same time lol
Right!!! 😂
Ha! Me too
I appreciate your dedication

This would be my pick out of ALL performance sedans. The engine and the manual trans is the main selling point, and I figure that'd be the reasons why buyers would gravitate towards the CT5-V BW. What a beautiful machine.
Manual transmission? It’s a yes for me!
I liked the way you think!
Love that typhoon metallic (green) color. Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Joe.
It really looks great!
It made me nut
@@RaitisRidesJoe I wish I could see the Green, it was in the dark ! Can you review the 2025 CT5-V again in the Green, also CT4-V?
They don't make enough cars in the green spectrum.
The CT-5 is always looking so good. It's a beast for sure.
The Cadillac CT5-V is my current dream dad sedan. Perfect mix of fun and practicality plus decent legroom for those of us over 6’!
That shade of green is crazy!
Yeah I have noticed green is coming back in style for cars but they are better greens putting a little grey in them
It's really beautiful....I love Cadillac design language...
They are doing a great job
Can we talk about how several brands are copying their design language and no one talks about it? Soyfan of Redline Reviews was like the only person on the internet to even whisper about how Kia has adopted both these folks exterior _and_ interior design language, amongst so many others. Since 2021 Escalade has dropped there has been so many manufacturers that have switched to long horizontally integrated *curved* displays now. These people do NOT get their due credit AT ALL. Lol
Love the Blackwing, such a stunning car. Feeling very tempted to get one.
Trust me I know that feeling
I wish they would sell us a stick shift non-luxury sedan with the LT1 so more people could afford it, basically the SS revived
With inflation it would still be 70-80 grand.
That would be nice of you
@@joshlamar1990you may be right
You mean with greed it would. Inflation is mostly a hoax. Companies just don’t want to go back to pre-COVID level of profits.
I don’t understand this. As soon as they do that y’all start ripping the Cadillac apart calling it a rebadged gussied up Chevrolet [insert Chevy that shares the same platform.] If y’all can’t see the value in Cadillac having their own special vehicles you can’t find anywhere else in the *gm* portfolio, then you need to stay far far away from _Cadillac._
New Trim, New Look, New Refreshed, New Everything im loving the new screen in this Cadillac this is fire supercharged Sedan to have
Thanks for letting me share it with you
Literally copied BMWs panoramic screen
@user-my4xu4gf1z - It looks nothing like BMWs screen. This one is more curved, has rounded corners, and more importantly is one continuous screen image versus being 2 individual screens under one panel of glass.
Plus, every company is doing this wide dual screen look for the digital display and infotainment system. There's no copying going on.
@@jeffs6090exactly. Plus this screen has been out since the current Gen Escalade
@@user-my4xu4gf1zwrong. This screen has been in the current Gen escalade
The first hand built engine named blackwing was a twin turbo 4.4L V8 in the 2019/2020 CT6 V, only 600 made ever, rare caddy! And that same twin turbo engine never went out of production‼️get ready Corvette fans😉
I feel like after witnessing the magnitude of budget *gm* gave Chevrolet for the C8’s production, Cadillac’s going to be able to do something really grand with the actual ’Blackwing’ engine. They can be very hush hush when they wanna be. I’ll be keeping my ears to the streets! 😎
🤔Interesting point. Never thought of that!
Going through officer training school and I get a Raiti’s Ride notification on my dream car 📣 😅😅 I’m stopping and watching
Thanks fir the awesome dedication
I’m counting the days until i can order 1 of these. They should have put the LT5 in it for the last run.
You are going to love it Ken
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Love your reviews!
Wow, that Typhoon Green is insanely gorgeous!
Thanks for being so supportive
I think that the symbol is that of the Greek letter Omega. If so, this could symbolize that this car is the end all of Cadillacs, meaning the best Cadillac within all Cadillacs made. My 2c.
Props to you and the RR family for giving us another great review!! They brought the dash and tech from the Escalade to the CT5 and proved once again that Caddy is a definite contender! The want is real and yes make mine a manual!!
Thanks so much Joe, for getting in before most are able to. Love your reviews. I have been debating on whether to knock a half second off my 1/4 mile time or buy a Blackwing for me and my wife. I hope the Blackwing comes in Typhoon Green!!!!!
Both are gorgeous but I would have to take the Typhoon Green (looks like a Teal color) but that color and shine is stunning.
The full waterfall lights do it for me that's the only reason I got the ct4 v but now they got them on the ct5 v. Incredible
Typhoon Green isn't a bad color either! And Steven thanks always for your camera work!
Thanks for showing Steven some love
Love that they made the Recaro bucket seats an option in the standard “V”. I wonder if the carbon fiber packages are now available on the CT5-V as well. That would be so hot with the white whisper beige interior and typhoon green metallic exterior. The beautiful peanut butter brown interior called Sedona Sauvage would really make the typhoon green pop as well! Can’t wait for an overview of these 3 trims under the sun.🔥
Sweet. They doing this refresh on the ct4V?
This will also be coming soon.
I use to come to Daytona Beach couple times back when spring break nationals was around which was one of the biggest car stereo competitions/car show and then I visited back in 2021 when they had the Daytona Truck Meet at the Daytona 500 so it was cool being up and close with the track since the show was in the grounds around the track
Great video! We've got a '25 CT5-V Luxury ordered! He's worked 47 years for GM and this is our reward to ourselves.
That is so wonderful!
Raiti, been watching your channel for a while, I enjoy your reviews. This car is a future classic. I really how you get into the exterior appearance/lines/aesthetics of cars, you do that more than a lot of other reviewers. Unique perspective.
Thanks for being on the journey with me! I just love sharing my passion for cars with you! I appreciate the support!
Love they went CT6 -V looking front end on this. That was a sweet look.
Happy Sunday 🎉 keep it up the good work pal
Great review as always, awesome channel! 👍👍
Great car Joe! Love what Caddy is doing. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Really appreciate Joe "putting in the leg work" to get fans first views of these iconic American rides. "Drift Metallic" is a fantastic color, given a choice I would go for that one! Eagerly awaiting the "on throttle" ride! Thanks JR.
excellent work as always!!
Oh my goodness, the front end styling on these cars is outstanding. I agree about the lights, too.
Cadillac does a great job
What a beauty, Joe. I totally love this new design. Can't wait to see you on throttle with the six speed gearbox version!
Joe .. WWE Royal Rumble last night was awesome in St. Petersburg Florida Tropicana Feild....aint that near u.. but this caddy is beautiful love everything about this caddy, great job Steve on the camera..
Shout out Steven. Great photography work...
That’s so awesome of you to say
Hey raiti's the ct5 v looks cool i hope the ct5 v is gonna be my dream car
This so true
love the interior of the Blackwing
You have great taste
Now this is the CT5-V Cadillac lovers are going to buy!
Best car for the money, all the way around luxury performance, everything, and that typhoon metallic is about the nicest color I’ve ever seen, preferably I would take the regular V with the all-wheel-drive. Man Cadillac really stepped it up last 5-7years
Joe, I stopped you on Friday and we talked about a Carrera T. Thx for the chat. Great video here on the Blackwing 👍
Max
Never really been a fan of Cadillac until this car. 660 hp manual is awesome.
Both colors are incredible, the car design is flawless
Viva Cadillac!
Heck yeah Luis
That new Typhoon green color it has as an option is fucking incredible. I want it so bad!
Man, I’m grabbing that typhoon green with some brown leather interior once they are released. Give me now
That sounds like a good plan!
Typhoon green! 😍
Wait until you see it in person
That green looks so beautiful. I need to see both colors in the sun and in the shade to determine. Might be my birthday present at the end of this year.
Now that would be one heck of a gift!
Yes it would. It’s a choice between the CT5-V Blackwing or a C7 Corvette Grand Sport or Z06.
What a beautiful black wing 4 door with a manual transmission 😍
Amazing review Joe.
Thanks for taking the time to say that
That shhhh is fire 🔥 & Joe always legendary 🙌🏾 👌🏾 🔥
This is literally the best performance sedan coming out of a factory OF ALL TIME. Absolutely stunning, gorgeous, a V8 with a cross-plane crankshaft slapped with a supercharger on top AND with a manual 6-speed Tremec, all with magnetic ride control technology. Does not get better than this.
Daaaang those white seats.. 😳
so nice bro.
I am in love with this color!! Seeing that live at Rolex was amazing!
Love that second typhoon colour. Gorgeous. we love Cadi CT-5 V 2025
Front end gives me ATS-V coupe vibes🔥
Killer review as always dude
That was a great car!! I wish it was still made. Obviously, it would be a CT4 coupe now. Why they stopped making the coupe version is beyond me. If they're still making the sedan, then the coupe should still be made.
Looks awesome Joe.
Both of those colors are beautiful
I just purchase a 2024 CT4-V Blackwing Black Raven with Red black carbon fiber on front seats….i love it
Congratulations. Did you go with the auto, or manual? I'm torn. I'm in Dallas where traffic is terrible at times and I traded my 2017 ZL1 manual for the 10 speed for that very reason, but loved the manual. I don't plan to track the car at all.
luxury pretenders" you always crack me up. keep up the good work.
My 2024 custom order CT5-V Blackwing gets built @ the end of this month. Been waiting over 2 years!
love the blackwing. wish they had more options in between that and the base model though, like maybe a lower trim with the 6.2 v8
Another 5 star review of the best, by the best!
This new BW is beyond belief. I'm all in! I'll need a miracle but we wants it - we needs our precious!
YES! More of the CT5-V! 😄❤️
Yes of course Joe & this will be my first car.
You would love it!
Love caddies I still have one thinking about selling my 2016 XTS now.
Great review Raiti! I always enjoy your enthusiasm and videos! I think the 2022-24 CT5-V Blackwing has a more aggressive and better looking front end. If I'm dropping over $100k on a car, I want to be able to look back at it after I park and as I'm walking away at least like what I see. Yes, styling is subjective but breaking up the smooth flowing front grill with black plastic on each side and reverting back to the old CT6 vertical headlights with a single LED strip does not look right to me. Just my $0.02. I love the car but I would get a 2024.
I like that typhoon green. That's really cool!!
Beautiful cars and the colours are sensational. My favourites American cars are Cadillacs, Corvettes and Camaros. Shame no CT 5 for the UK.
I used to work for GM in the UK shame they shut down their operations. Great review keep them coming! Greetings from 🇬🇧
I love the tornado green. Awesome.
I've been waiting for you to do this video....I can't wait until it releases....love that color...#cadillacowner ...Can't wait until the 2025 CT5 comes out...
Wow! Man, oh, man! I gotta get this one! I wanted a C8 Vette, but this is the best of both worlds.
10sp auto, please.
Typhoon green looks awesome
Something about the top shelf Gm performance cars in popping colors 💯.
Heck yeah man!
Hurry up and start production! love that green!
That green is amazing
I’m so glad that you like this one!😊
A v8 in 2025? That's crazy 😮 here I was thinking this was a hybrid or something. So the mustang, Cadillac and corvette is all that's left.😮💨MUSTANG HERE I COME😎
Cadillac is finally so cool again!🔥🔥🤙
They have always been above the rest, take the classiest luxury car and Cadillac will always look the best on the street they spew class and are a cut above the rest.
@@shawn.credit Well, sometimes they had loser models, but for the most part they are very prestigious.
Wow the interior really pitched the whole car together 🙌🏼
USA all the way. If my lotto hits or there really is a Santa Claus, I will be driving this Cadillac. Thanks Joe.
Get in the boat pal. This ship of afamed fortune sails nowhere. The lottery is a scam. Notice how your subconscious instinctively associated it with Santa Clause.
Really nice indeed. I'm still waiting for my manuel car since June 2022 . Do you have the same problem in America ? I'm from Québec City, Canada .
I have the manual blackwing, 2023, it’s one of my favorite cars ever! I thought they were not making anymore??
This car is impressive. Good job, GM.
I love the changes I also love both colors but I think the green is more like a Cadillac Cadillac is doing a great job keeping the Ct5 updated I love the interior colors In the gray one as long as the green one doesn’t have black interior I’m sure I’d love it as well GreaT Video once again Joe and Stephen great camera work as well When do you think we’ll get pricing on the 2025’s especially the 2025 Toyota Camry XSE hybrid I definitely want one of those asap
I love the Typhoon Green. Wish they had it for 2024.
CT5 V Blackwing 🤘🏻 loving that color!
i think i like the drift metallic better but really need to see them outside in the sunlight. very few shades of green i would ever consider for my car
Nice video! that's my dream car!
I agree that the symbol above the front emblem looks like an Omega symbol
All the class there is. !! Love it..
Cadillac should get an award for keeping Manual V8's alive.
Caddy does a great job with the CT5…love both exterior colors. Not crazy about the white interior since it’s apt to get dirty quite easily.
The Green - love it!
I’m so glad that you love jt
The part above the camera is a washer nozzle to clean the camera lens.
If these examples are any indication, Cadillac is on its game quality-wise. Probably the best fit & finish I've seen in the newest US built cars. I also like that this Cadillac remains V8 powered, and you can still get the ultimate anti-theft device for today - the manual transmission! Not to mention it will add to the fun factor.
Did they delete the volume knob?
Man everything on this car is a chef's kiss
The Easter 🥚 looks like the Greek letter Omega Ω
