Thanks to @Cadillacplug for showing taking the time to show us this beautiful vehicle !
V3 front end, blackwing rear end and blackwing interior 👌🏼
Facts!
older is aggressive. newer is softer . it's like our society.
Amen to that 🙏..based on the CEO..no shade 😅
The deepest comment I ever seen. Amen brother
Or boy racer vs sophistication
That's a first calling the manual soft vs the older one not even having the option. Honestly first time I ever heard that take. Usually old heads say the exact opposite.
@@greapsoho I was commenting on the styling.
V3 Body style all the way!!
I have a few cars, a 2023 c8 stingray, a 2003 terminator cobra (700rwhp) and a 2023 ct5-v blackwing. The blackwing is the slowest of the three. But it is the most fun car I’ve ever owned. It’s just so nice, and put it in v mode and it freaking moves for how big it is. Absolutely remarkable car.
The V3 bodystyle more aggressive looks awesome!
Im loving the color and aggressive style of the older V🥰
Just sold my 19 V3…best car I’ve ever owned. The V3 is way better looking than the CT5 style. Great video though!!
Why did you sell it?
Had 46k miles on it and I enjoyed it. Time for a change. Have my pickup and not sure what I may get next.
I had a ‘15 V3. , definitely sexier body style. I miss mine so bad now after watching all these videos!
So I really enjoyed this video, well done. The audio was missing a bit but it was a solid video. I’m sorry, but the CTS V is just a sharper vehicle. And I get that you have modded your CTS V but watching you smoke the Blackwing was hilarious! Best part of the video. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can always tell imposter car guys as soon as they start talking 😂
Salesman still in sales mode, chill man we don’t need you to try selling us the car. We’re here because we already know everything about them and like the cars. One thing tho, how are you the salesman for the brand and get the name wrong? It’s a Cadillac *CT5-V* ‘Blackwing’ not a “ct5 Blackwing”. Otherwise great job!
I agree with him that the CT5 is just a more luxurious cabin but with better tech and overall build quality, switchgear/buttons and knobs. Both are equally sporty and I would _still_ take either in a heartbeat!
By the way the Cadillac Warranty is
4 year 50k bumper to bumper
6 year 70k powertrain
My 2015 CTS V had a V8 engine and it was sick! Paddles.. crazy fast, hugged the road tight. Took off like a Rocket! I know this may sound wrong to some but it actually was a 2015 & a 1/2… I may get comments on this saying I’m wrong, but trust me.. I didn’t believe it either. Freakn car was my Baby, had a Special Black Sparkle paint job, and interior was black leather with Red Stitching…. I think I was born a Car Fanatic since I’m born… just a woman loving her Ride ❤
V3 with the newer interior would be dope
Blackwing for sure I like the updated tech and the luxury of it best of both worlds
First black wing I seen without the black wing
"This is the first Blackwing I've seen without the black wing."
I had deposits on 2022 Blackwings at two dealerships, hoping they would get allocation. Waited over a year, and then found a 2018 CTS-V exactly the color I wanted, fully loaded, great condition. Bought that instead, and saved $30K. I just like the third gen CTS-V better, exterior and interior too. No regrets. The 2025 BW restyling and new dash are really nice, but the price difference is really significant between the two cars. CTS-V, IMO, is the better buy, it is such a gorgeous car.
The 2018 CTSV is absolutely gorgeous one of my nephews has one. At night when the lights come on that car is the best looking car on the road. Congratulations on your purchase stay safe.
Thank you. I looked at a 2024 CT5V BW yesterday, MSRP was $151,000. That's substantially more than the car was in 2022, and way more than I could ever justify paying.@@UnknownPerson-ub8ox
Is your CTS-V a manual? And was the Blackwing going to be a manual?
@@captainamerica9353 No. My CTS-V is a 3rd gen, which was only offered with an automatic. I really don't miss the manual to be honest. Every once and a while, a manual is fun, but in stop and start city traffic, a manual gets to be an enormous pain. The BW was going to be a manual, but I confess I was really going back and forth on that choice.
@@lorieandpatrickdavies7483 , I recently bought a 2006 and didn't know they went from all manuals, to a choice (2nd Gen) and to auto's only until now. My 2006 STS V8 was wrecked by a drunk driver and the CTSV replaces it. I could have easily bought a nice auto sedan for thousands less (CTS V6, STS, BMW 540, XJ8, etc.) but wanted the coolness of a manual sedan. But I don't commute! Peace.
The Blackwing is definitely a bad boy with newer technology. I got a V3 cts-v and the body has a better character profile.. They toned down the aggressive look on the Blackwing to make it more sleek n classy.. V3 all day.. great cars!! 🔥🔥🫡
CTS is just goated. I also didn't know Cadillac started putting "V" on non V8's, kind of a shame. Just how BMW started putting "M" on non M series'.
V 3 body style is definitely “ Sexier “. Black Wing is just a sick beast.
The V3 does have a V mode. (If i can remember.) Go to track. Tap down twuce fast on traction control. There are 5 track options. 5 being wild.
"Why you destroy me like that?" 💀🤣
I like the older ctsv more ascetically. I do like the manual option on the blackwing as well.
Something worth mentioning is the 2025 cadillacs ALL have a face lift and the front ends look much more aggressive. Btw i owned the ATS 2.0T aka Cadillac ls most underrated car. It had a sunroof and i NEVER had any issues with it. It did make a sizzling noise after every car wash. Think it was the built in defroster. As far as the cue if yiu activate onstar they automatically update the cue so i also never had an issue with my cue. Last but definitely not least Hennessy has a 1000HP package as mentioned in the video that would GAPPED Alex. Just a Schmidty tune would do it. 🤭🤣😂
Great video gentleman. 👏🏽🔥😤🔥
Needed this video cause I’m trying to pick between them 2
welcome to the cadi fam !
ct5 def better dont let that built shi fool you 668 stock
Blackwing bro atw
I traded the 3rd gen CTS V for the CT5 Blackwing because it was offered in MT. If the CTS V had offered manual, I would have probably kept it forever. The CTS looked better than the CT5, but the CT5 sticks to the ground a lot better than the CTS V did.
He said “We” like he helped build the Blackwings😂, he’s a salesman that googled his info.
Excellent comparison review! The v3 body more menacing.
I feel the v3 overall looks better. The black wing interior is beautiful though but i mean it’s newer so it’s to be expected.
The CT5 looks like a new Honda civic
Why he gotta say the 20th anniversary. I wasn’t ready for that.
They're both great cars but the Blackwing gives you a manual
The Black Wing driver seemed to not know what he was doing with all that power.
The video starts at 25:20
You’re welcome
V3 was the best body style. All it needed was a manual option and it would have been the best generation.
The V2 and V3 are dead sexy. The CT5-V Blackwing is super nice but doesn't have quite the attitude as previous generations. Also, it's stupid of GM to dilute the V badge by sticking it on anything but the absolute top dog.
I own the "Baby V" of the Bunch I have the V-Sport I love this car but I would go for the V3 body (Mine look just like it minus the Hood vents) over the newer BW body.
Beautiful machines !! I have the ATSV sedan band enjoy it , not stock and it moves
Good choice!
@@htx.v3 so Philip did your work , I seen your other video , that thing chop for days..
I do to brother and I love it ! I have a 2016 Ats-v and I kick ass the list is long ! But a tune coming soon !
I've had my V3 for a few years and I just like the style better than the Black wing. But I do wish they made the 2018 in a manual
There were no manual V3's?? Sad, but due I'm sure because too many rich fools wanted V2's with slushboxes. For comparison, the 2006 - 2010 M5's with manuals are worth double an automatic.
new 5bw looks so much better in person with some forged 20s, only thing it needs is the hood vent
The v3 , where did you get that car cammed out , wanted to do the Hennessy 1000hp on mine but I’m looking around..
houston performance solutions, tell phillip i sent you
Ct5-v needs a driver mod. He shifts like my grandmother
He shifted early a lot, but it has so much torque in the upper band that it's scary to take a hand off the steering wheel.
At least the V3 had heated rear seats. What’s up Cadillac ?
Both are soooo nice 😮💨😮💨😮💨
The 2018 2019 Vs are the most beautiful ❤
That Escalade tho
For all of you who haven’t done your research, the Blackwing motor was ONLY produced for the 2019 and 2020 CT6. The “V” on all other models under Cadillac are totally different motors from the Blackwing. A simple google search and speaking with certified technicians and detailed videos on RUclips from folks like Banks Superchargers will explain that to you. The “V” motors in the CT4/5 and Escalade are also made for the Corvette. But those ARE NOT Blackwing motors. Again, that Blackwing name was only given and is only designated for the 2019/2020 CT6. No offense but to call anything else is disrespectful to us CT6 owners who own this particular 4.2L TT engine.
Wish the audio picked up the exhaust notes better but v3 all the way for me because I’ve always been more for the aggressive look and feel of cars. Why I love American muscle. But they’re so unattainable now 😅
Wind was against us sadly
I like both ofum
I just purchased my V3 in December but looked at 3 different CT5-V Blackwings. The Blackwings were definitely nice and I liked the fact I could get a manual transmission with the Blackwing. However, the V3 just has better overall looks and appeal to me compared to the Blackwing. As you guys stated Blackwings are often mistaken for the lower trim Vs however, there is no mistaking a V3 for a base CTS or even an ATS-V. Great video.
can't mistake it since the ats-v looking mad better haha
Yep, I have a 2017 ATS-V. Compared to the CT4 it’s way better looking. I discovered not too long ago they have many different CT4 V’s also. The only with the 3.6 twin turbo is the black wing. Not sure why they diluted the V badge. I also discovered they only made 579 of the 2017’s. Which is why I never see them, except mine.
@@bobboy5508 I think ct4 bw is nicer with carbon 1 and 2 or a tie but if they added a hood vent it would be over the top
Looks like an Altima
Yeah, everywhere I go I drive my black wing with the demo I don't have the 5 but I have the 4 and it's d*** fun. I'm waiting on the 25 to be released this year. So I could trade it in hopefully
....that was fun and great video. Thanks!
I had high hopes with your opening..
More vídeos like this one please Mr. Magana 🔥🔥
yessir thanks for commenting !
Black wing would gap him with a real driver fasho
don't underestimate them !
Dude needs to go back to driving his Camry. Can’t handle the Blackwing.
Most V3's are modded.. hard to run across any that's all stock. The Blackwing stock is only 28 hp more than the stock V3.. My 2018 V3 dyno'd at 760 whp on pump gas and meth.. if any Blackwing pulls up.. he better be ready! 💯
Great video !! Definitely help with my purchase.
I don’t understand why Cadillac didn’t put a supercharger on the 6 cylinder-V cause it would have given the car more power, especially to run with the BMW 3 cause, turbo charge gets more airflow, and that makes a huge difference in performance.
the reason is we put a twin turbo on the V6 CT4 Blackwing that is faster then the M3
CT5-V All Day
The new V looks too similar to an Accord. V2s and V3s in particular are the best models produced.
Though it is gonna be the last of its kind with 6 speed manual, the days of automatics being slow shifting are gone. The modern day automatics will outshine any human. I'm manual transmission guy but I have to admit the 6 sp shifting has had its days. I would have no problems owning a 10 sp auto on these.
Now no sunroof biggest advantage that's not mentioned is that it gives the car better overall rigidity. Which is very important for handling. I'll take mine with no sunroof thank you very much. Also save me some$ to put towards a tune.
I can't drive my CT5 Blackwing MT as fast as my old CTS-V auto, but being able to choose one of six gears with a stick versus one of eight close gears with paddle shifters is worth the trade off in overall enjoyment. The CTS-V also tended to fish tail more than the CT5 Blackwing.
Nice video. How would this turn out with a modified BW?
I don’t think that’s true. I drive a lot of gm Cadillac products because I work at a caddy dealer. A lot of regular ct5 come in with heated and cooled seats. Pretty sure it’s an option a lot of them get
Only thing I don’t like about the ct5 is the hood they could’ve made it more sportier
I Beat a V in my Escalade!! 😳😂😂🤷🏽♂️
The Homie doesn’t know jack shit about Cadillac bro. Who is he doing reading the sticker options? oh yeah the manual you don’t have to shift until the RPM goes full 360 and it breaks.
Cts v3
dam good video
sales guy knows very little about his product..lotta “ums” and “basicallys” ..
CT4 also comes in a blackwing.
Dude needs to do a little research. The 86 on the steering wheel isn't the production number, it means that it's a 6 speed transmission the second number on the steering wheel is the production number. So this was the 212th 6 speed CT5-V BLACKWING.
The only thing that kept me from buying the v3 was the transmission
I’ll be ordering a Blackwing next month. The interior and suspension is similar to an 87 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan and I’m keeping it.
the yappin is insane
The Fartallic!😂 That’s what I called these cars when I worked as a Tech servicing them. They always smelled like old folks and poop mixed with plastic.😂
Wtf 😂😂😂😂
Oh Bullshit! Mine Definitely didn’t
What all done to the v3?
Id like to the see the race with both vehicles STOCK and no passengers
The only one that ask that question are none car people.
You will never out shift that automatic.
Did homie just use “BMW” as an example because we eat black wings for breakfast!
No you don’t.
Ct4 BLACKWING will smoke you 😅
If you're talking about a newer AWD M and 0-60 straightline stuff, then sure. But the Blackwings were made for road courses and the Ms lose consistently to Blackwings there (keep in mind the slower manual variant beat the M5 CS at Willow Springs, auto beat 991 GT3 at VIR, etc..)
V3 looks meaner
the 5 v blackwing is the only V8 v, which is sad cause V badged Cadillacs were always V8s :/
is bro your brother yall look too much alike lol
Typical Mexican accent we’re getting from not knowing Spanish or English 😂
Here in California we had V3s with manuals idk why he said they didn't come with manuals when they did. I have a 2015 CTS-V coupe and a 2019 sedan but I chose both in auto as they were faster than the manual as the new ones are as well. My coupe now has 800hp and 798ft lbs and my sedan has 735hp and 730ft lbs and still a work in progress and I love them both!
I am gonna max the 2019 out at 1000hp as that engine and that tranny can withstand that and still be reliable.
Not true on the V3 with a manual.. They only came from the factory with the auto.
It doesn't have that badge, it aint a black wing. You gay by that bad online. You have to own a black wing to get that black wing badge.
Built car vs a stock car
Save for a bump up of 28hp and two extra gear cogs, the CT5-V BW is such a half done effort. It lacks luxury in the exterior design; I see a mucked up translation of the Escala concept's design language and after 4 years on the market, that C-Pillar is still fugly and cheapens the appearance of the vehicle. V3 was and still retains a balanced luxury and sporting aesthetic.
As well, premium features on the V3 (e.g, Rear Dual climate control zones; Rear heated seats; Magnesium Paddle Shifters,...) were removed on the CT5-V BW. Those basic HVAC vents in the rear belong on an econo-car; not a supposed luxury performance vehicle.
V3 all the way!
Imo i like the ct6v blackwing over ct5 bw
cts -v looks better
Smoked by a V6? Hmmmm...LOL
Both are supercharged V8, essentially the same engine in the CTS V v3 and the CT5 Blackwing.
@@andrewflanders262 Aha! Got it now. Thank you. So, the CT5-V is a six and the CT5-V Blackwing is the V8. I had to go listen again closer and look it up. LOL
Clowns
V3 cts v is way betta 🔥🔥
V3 Body style is way nicer
V3 for the win 🥇
V3 all day
Yours looks more aggressive the new black wing looks like a rich woman’s car.
V3 the other one looks a to soft.
This Hass to be the worst Cadillac infomercial that I have ever seen in my life. Neither one seem to know what they’re talking about. This should’ve rehearsed.
Any chance you could re-write that in English?
