  • Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
  • This is the Cadillac CT6-V with the new and exclusive Blackwing V8 engine. And it's Cadillac's flagship sedan with a V. It has two turbos, a great big stonking V8 and a ton of torque. And it's already been discontinued. James and Thomas jump behind the wheel to see if this is something to be upset about or something to celebrate. Watch and enjoy. SUBSCRIBE!

      No, this engine is canceled for good. Johan de Nysschen pushed for it and quit from frustration/was fired and no longer runs Cadillac. They give us the rehashed XT6/Buick Enclave Aveneir instead. Cadillac has already announced they are going back to the LS engine of Chevy moving forward. This story explains why Cadillac will never use it again - and it has to do with its size in the end. www.motorbiscuit.com/chaotic-tale-of-cadillacs-cancelled-ct6-v-and-blackwing-engine/

    Great review and an amazing car. I bought a 2019 Ct6 Sport, which has the 3.0TT engine (404hp). While of course I'd love to have the CT6-v, the Sport was a great option because it is essentially the same car in every way, except the engine (it has the sport wheels, the carbon fiber trim, the body-color badging and spoiler, etc). And for me, 404hp was enough given my driving needs. Not to mention you pay nearly $25k more just for that extra 100hp and the "V" badge. I say "was" because like the Blackwing... the Sport was also only offered for one year. DUMB move from GM. It's the best driving car I've ever owned... including other Cadillacs and multiple Jaguars over the past 15 years.

    • @adamhayden5152

      The blackwing v8 is in two configuration’s. It comes in the top end ct6 platinum and is 500hp and it comes in the ct6 V and is 550. The 3.0TT is super cool, I bet with a some high flow down pipes and a tune it would be close to 500hp. If I were ever to buy a ct6 it would prob be the 3.0tt. The v8 is out of my price range and the 2.0t and 3.6v6 shouldn’t have been an option. It should have only been the 3.0tt and the two trims of v8

Soon installing the flex fuel sensor and tuning for e47. Then intercooler and cat back exhaust, exhaust manifold, then the 3.77 diff from a wreck Camaro. My goal is 400hp at the rear wheels so around 450 crank.

    I really hope they make another car like this, especially with this engine. To me, it is one of the best looking cars they have made in a while, inside and out. I feel that if they do not use any of the drive train tech in other models, it would be a waste of R&D money.

      They don't advertise. And unfortunately, Cadillac is stuck with whatever chassis GM makes. The ats' biggest complaint was lack of rear space. Since it's based off the alpha platform that made up the 6th Feb Camaro, there was nothing they could do. And they decided on a twin turbo v6 instead of the lt4.

    I bought one of these for my wife, she says it is too loud, but she loves that it has plenty of "pick up" when she pulls out. Recently took a 4K trip through the south and midwest and it cruises all day at 80 and still got 25 mpg and was so smooth. But, when it is time to go, it definitely does. I plan to hang onto as it will definitely will hold it's value. I feel so fortunate to be able to have been able to find one of these unicorns.

    This car is an example of brilliant design and engineering being ruined by idiotic marketting and distribution. Cadillac engineers did an amazing job but they dont know how to market this car, they dont know what to name it and they dont know what to do with it. Mercedes, Audi and BMW know EXACTLY what they're selling you, what niche it fills and what place their products have in the market. Cadillac needs to pick a new mission statement and stick to it. Supposedly they're electrifying their entire line-up and that should be a fresh start for them.

      My oldest son is a Cadillac fan. He got his start with a 1995 Deville Concours, then bought a 2006 DTS when the 95 got totaled on the expressway by a semi forcing him off the road. The DTS didn't hold up very well mechanically in relation to the first car. He traded it in for a 2018 XTS, and so far, it has been an excellent move. I rented one for a roadtrip and found it to be a very comfortable enjoyable car to drive. The CT6 is his dream car, and we did drive one at the truth or dare driving event Cadillac puts on every summer, it's a shame it's being discontinued, it's quite a car.

      It's because that the price on these things will actually appreciate instead of depreciate.
      You can get a Vbadge that normally would cost close to 100k down to 30k in only a few years.
      Cadillac is notorious, rather GM in general, for depreciation on their performance cars like CTS, corvette and camaros.
      With a limited production, exclusive V8 and the product line discontinued, the price on these will be off the charts when it becomes labeled as "collector's"

    As an audio guy having more speakers doesn't always mean better sound but in this case the extra speakers are used to sound scape, basically just making the audio in the car sound more full and direct wheather that be music, radio, podscasts. I've personally sat in a CT6 and tried out the system and I really loved it, i actually thought it was one of the best systems in the whole auto show.
