I own a 2022 CT5 V Blackwing (manual) and it is by far, the best, everyday-performance car I have ever driven. Very addictive

I’m always rooting for Cadillac. Living in a world where they make top of the line luxury cars with mighty engines just feels right.

I have a loaded 2019 CTSV with white tricoat and carbon fiber package. It was my dream car coming from a C7 Z06. Unfortunately my soon to be ex is taking it. Its too much of a loss... so Ill be picking up a new CT5V Blackwing to drown my sorrows. Excellent review

I love both of the new blackwings V’s. I can only imagine what the new ones perform like because I still get a lot of compliments in my Cadillac ATS V. GM I feel like is the only American auto maker that has made a new design for all there performance cars from Chevy to Cadillac! Good job GM.

cadillac has been great for a while now. the CTSV3 and ATSV were the driver's choice in their classes, although many didn't accept it. All of the big car publications were pretty much unanimous in this opinion. The CT5 and CT4 BW cars are not a revolution. Same basic platform, suspensions and drivetrain. From a purely enthusiast's perspective the previous generation V cars were better than the F generation M cars which were roots of BMW making isolation chambers. The previous gen V cars also rode better with their MRC dampers than the likes from AMG and M. It wasn't even close. These new BW cars are not much different. Its nothing new(thankfully). A small step.

Well done Sam! one of my favourite cars, but I've always been GM guy at heart so this hits hard. Thomas killed it at 14m. What a sequence!

I would absolutely love to daily one of these, just way too expensive at msrp, plus the crazy markups. I absolutely love a fast sedan and I think the blackwing pair really kill it overall.

This is the ultimate sport sedan, love the song of that V8 plus a manual transmission, what more can one ask for. Great review.

It took me 20 months from when I ordered mine for it to finally come in. I got the CT5 Blackwing with the 6 speed manual. Good luck with your Blackwing!

Congratulations Sam! One of the best cars you can get hands down. When I test drove one, even though its was brief, I knew I had to make it my mission to get one and soon! Blue with the 6-speed ! :)

I just now got a chance to watch... I love that you covered the differences between the V models. Thank you for the excellent video!

I absolutely love the content of this episode I enjoyed the way you went from front to back pointing out design and engineering details right down the key fob color in relation to the brake caliper. You’ve made a new fan of your channel 👍🏻 stay awesome!!!

My 87 year old father in law has this car. Fortunately he is sharp as a tack. But we do worry about him when he drives it on the highway. The car is awesome, people always come up and admire it.

6 speed manual trans, huge respect! +

I have a '22 CT4-V Blackwing, it does have power column movement!

Just got my CT-4 BW with the A10 and you are right when you say it is always in sport mode!

I can’t wait for this channel to hit 1M!! I absolutely love it!!!

Love it everytime I see a new video on these. Mine should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. After delays for missing parts (likely a microchip of some kind) and delayed shipping after it was built and having to drop the cf1 option due to availability constraints. Ordered it just over a year ago.

The video production keeps getting better and better with every video 👏

This is the best video I've seen on the Blackwing. Thank you.🙏

2016-19 CTS-V definitely the best.

Been watching you Sam for a bit now. Love the production quality on these videos. Keep it up!!

Is this the 2023? I’m 34yrs old and I want this over any bmw,Audi. I miss my old VW manual and with two young boys this is my current dream car

CTS-V's are great in Canadian winters! I had an '06 with studded winter tires & some sandbags in the trunk. ;-) B

I had 2017 m4 competition then traded it for a 2022 is350 loved the looks and comfort but couldn’t get use to the lack of power so I now have Ct4v blackwing in rift metallic/white wasnt my first choice but it was a manual 6 speed for msrp no mark up . I love driving just super hard to find aftermarket wheels at the moment

Arguably the best chassis in the class. RWD. 6MT. Strong SC V8. Beautiful design. Spacious. Rare. A literal track ready sedan. Makes a strong case for being best car in the class.

Great video. I loved the production quality. You have truly carved out a space for yourself. Congrats.

Just drove it! I'm in love! congrats Cadillac, wow! Best drivers car!

Now this is a Black Beauty!!! 🔥🔥🔥

One of the best best best car reviews I have seen. I’m in LOVE with this car. Honestly can’t wait to get my hands on one… ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

My man!! We can ear the red white and blue blood boiling in you enjoying a Cadi!! 👌👌

My first Cadillac was a CTSV1, it was a cool car had a stage 4 BTR cam, it sounded obnoxiously great but it had its flaws with the trans and common diff issues. I recently bought a ctsv2 sedan manual and the V2 is a huge improvement over the V1. I’m very curious with the newer Cadillac. The interior/exterior are a big improvement over the V2. the ATSV, looks like they are more lighter and nimble than the V2. The CT5 black wing looks bigger and weighs more but the engine is much more powerful. I like the idea of a big sedan with a powerful motor under the hood. Definitely a sleeper.

I have a CT5 Sport 2021, then my dad passed and he left me his V2017 and I still want a blackwing! Lol but my sport is just too loaded got for a crazy low price, I could not pass it up, and was what I could afford at the time… but don’t regret it! And my dad V how my neighbors love the wake up call! Lol

My dream car 😍😍 I love that thing with 6 speed manual

Nothing beats a manual shift,NOTHING!

Sam you should do another video when you finally get your car you ordered that would be another fun video to see especially with the 10 speed automatic transmission. I’m curious for it only because it would be great to see it and get a fresh perspective from you on how it is as a day to day car.

Got one of these as a daily driver. It's been fun for that.

I’m still enjoy driving my wife’s CTS-V Wagon, but I do want to get some seat time in a blackwing.

😎I still appreciate my Cadillac CTS-V3

your videos are so well done. idk how you only have 130k subs.

Nice review keep up the good work Sam

I had brand new 2011 cts-v 6.2l v8 supercharged. Loved it. After 50k miles it starts to fall apart.

Just got back from the 100% paid driving school at Pahrump, NV., had a blast with the CT4BW .

Cadillac definitely made the ct5 a very sexy car. If i had the money i would definitely have this as a summer daily.

its better than my CTS-V with 640 hp yet its an amazing machine

Man that is a nice car! Luv the aggressive front end! 💯

🔥all coming from the CTS V man 👊🏾

Beautiful. I'd love a coupe.

Honestly i like the last model ctsV and atsV much better in regards to design. In particular the front end .... the performance is undeniable

My 94 32 valve north star Eldorado was an awesome car I actually wish I still had it.

1:37 I know, it's hard to realize time has passed. BTW slick editing, nice production.

Cadillac nailed a home run with the CT6 Platinum and better than the BMW 7 and Mercedes-benz S Class because the CT6 can drive itself. Also the CT6 Blackwing is in a class by itself!

Love ya Sam brother! If they ever make a Canadian "Miami Vice," you're playing Crocket! LOL, but seriously. Wishing you nothing but continued success in this hard, bitter, and unrelenting world! Cheers! 🥂🥂

That's nice you're daily driving it. Most would keep it as a garage queen and barely take it out once a week or so if that. A car is meant to be driven. As long as you take care of it,everything is fine.

absolutely stunning !

Love the front… but that side view I think was a fail. Can’t do 80 grand on a car that when I pull up next to it at a light it takes me a few secs to tell if it’s a souped up civic or maxima.

The Corvette Division in Bowling Green Kentucky hand builds that 6.2 L Motor

This car looks amazing

Great looking car!! I hope you get to review the new Mustang Dark Horse!!

I always had the opinion that the Panamera was the best car available in terms of functionality without sacrificing performance…then came the 5BW. Room for five adults, big trunk space, comfortable - combine that with what this vehicle is capable of and you have a production sedan that no other model on the planet can touch pound for pound, by a wide gap. This is an enthusiasts wet dream - an instant classic. I took delivery of a ‘22 with 4,300 clicks last week, and talk about an ass puckering experience. Wow. Just wow.

First car I ever bought myself was the V1 back in 04 it was redline exterior with beige leather with suede inserts with that tremec 6 speed. That alone was the reason I fell in love and now 17 years later here we are still killing it the the standard transmission

I have a lot of CT5-V Blackwing cars on my channel so far, but most of them are manual cars.

Definitely the best looking four-door sedan

Great video, slightly incorrect on the v history. Well at least state side the v series has done really well in many aspects. This exact formula existed 10 years ago but at that time people wanted turbo. With the market going electric there is a nostalgic feeling in owning a v8 super car, plus the people across the pond are charging you a monthly subscription for HEATED SEATS 😂 hopefully you get one.

I would like drive Blackwing but it didn’t come to Australia but if you did come to Australia you need drive HSV VF GTS with LSA V8 hook up 6 speed manual.

Gawd, what a daily, it has EVERYTHING i want in a perfect package

Cadillac did a great job with the ct5v blackwing its a real drivers car

Cadillac was known for their ride quality and suspension back in the 90s and early 2000s? Not sure what happened here with the V series. I still luv the look of it. One powerful sedan!

You gained a new sub because of this video.. I agree with you, we don't deserve this car

Crazy that it went skrt going into 3rd gear🤘🏿🙌🏿🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥🔥🔥💨

13:40 Speaking of....this video.

My dream car

Yes!!! Yes !!!! A thousand YES If had the $$$$$$ that Cadillac would be my daily driver

The world doesn’t revolve around amg and m3s man this statement so good

Cadillac has came up. Nice car.

I have to get my grubby little hands on this machine 😅😅

Great looking car, but I need AWD. It’s just that simple!! This manual “desire” is a low volume effort amongst the masses to he honest I’m not driving a stick in Chicago rush hour traffic.

As a Cadillac lover Cadillacs will always be A LEGENDARY BRAND 💯

*I have a GEN 2 2013 CTS V Black Diamond Edition and owned it for 9 years now. ZERO issues and a perfect car; Beautiful Inside and Outside. He must have just gotten in a later Version to say it's not any good. What disrespect... This car was the benchmark of it's era and still is as a Super Sedan. The CTS V series has won Several Championships against Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi R8 and the list goes on. Do your homework before throwing the CTS Vs away like they was nothing. The LSA Engine is the Alpha engine of all the LS engines. Glad you're gotten into the V series with this video. But, I can not finish the video with the early disrespect.*

Amazing!

Yeah those Cadillacs are outclassing those German sedans in my opinion

If you had to choose between the ct5V or the Acura tlx type s for your daily which would you pick?

Wow did he really dismiss the ctsV atsV and not mention the ct6V they are some of the best handling car's period just cause people don't buy them doesn't discount their goodness and yes the Blackwings are awesome

This car is fantastic. BTW, the graphic of this video is supreme

Beautiful car...now if only I could hit the lotto to be able to afford one.

It's nice...but it's not worth $110k or whatever crazy mark up they are asking now for what is essentially a ZL1 with upgraded interior

They are the king of the mag ride!! It’s honestly the best suspension made on a modern car easily!!0

My ultimate dream car of all time.

Had T go look the steering column is electric in the CT4V BW also.

You're a great salesman. Get the last supercharged V-8 before the end of ICE's...

Do you like this or the Camaro ss 1LE more?

Now I want one

Would love wagon version of this

I'm from Quebec, got a CT4 as a daily. U get all the sport features sound power brake and steering feel + suspension in comfort mode, why would i need another car? Cept in winter of course so my BW stays shinny!

My Maverick frost noir 5vblackwing manual entered production

Great car. Wouldn't daily it though.

If I could afford this car then I wouldn’t be concerned about gas mileage. I would drive it and not regret a thing. I would enjoy being able to gap almost everything on the road.

Canadian people love American cars

Yeah this is a bad ass whipped beast

Cadillac should reimagine the late 90's Fleetwood make full size land yachts again
