The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is probably our favorite sport sedan of the year. It's got a monster 670HP LT4 V8, a manual transmission, ceramic brakes, and a brilliant chassis. So we took it to the legendary Laguna Seca Raceway for the Hypercar Invitational, an event targeted to seven-figure sports cars! How does the big Caddy hold its own on track with some of the most focused, exclusive cars on the market?
Cadillac provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas for this review!

@Reubachi Год назад

Go to the dealer. In front of their sales person, begin writing out an email to a GM Corporate rep concerning the markups. GM will pull their reservations for halo cars after you send that email, which, the sales people will not let you do before they remove the markup.

@jameswillard1 Год назад

@@Reubachi this is 100% false for anybody reading his comment save yourself the embarrassment, I promise you there is no truth to that happening whatsoever. Unless you are in Canada, dealers are allowed (per their dealer agreements) to charge whatever they want for a vehicle and if a manufacturer tried to pull cars for dealers charging over MSRP then basically no dealers would have any cars to sell and dealers would sue the manufacturer because per their dealer agreements they are not governed by the manufacturer as to what they can sell cars for, hence why it’s called Manufacturers “Suggested” Retail Price 🤦🏻‍♂️

As long as you're quick to get out of the way (like Matt), it should be fun for everyone. But some people in their Miatas or S2Ks think they're race car drivers and don't seem to want to accept that their cars are slow.

Agreed. These hyper cars and super cars need to get back to the art of DRIVING. For me that’s manual and Gordon Murray’s T-50 is proof positive. But on a more “normal” level just look at the GT3. People want manuals!

@tedgeldberg6498 Год назад

David Bush, Track days are indeed, a lot of fun, and when you first start out with most groups that have first timers, you will usually have a teacher in the car with you. I have taken both my 600hp Jaguar XKR and my De Tomaso Pantera to the track dozens of times, and I have a lot of fun without ever exceeding my comfort level. That's the nice thing on organized track events, that you can drive with groups that are at the same level as you and with rules about passing, etc. so that you build conidence along the way. It's well worth doing because you learn a lot about your car and yourself. And start off at a less techical track (one that's not too hard to navigate) like Buttonwillow in Bakersfield, CA which is a relatively easy track that can be learned very easily. You'll not regret it.

@michaelcarretero2713 Год назад

Great driving, great video

@eichler721 Год назад

Great video and this is why I would take the CTS-V Blackwing over the Plaid anyday. It's a track car that doesn't become lame brakes after a lap or 2. Such a good machine and keep these coming, also yes its not actually faster then most of these cars but some of the drivers where lacking in skill for the cars they had.

@user-hr2zy7ct8h Год назад

The Plaid is a great track car, it has great stock brakes, they've got a new heat display technology where you can see if you're overheating the brakes because they will catch fire. With the optional ceramics it might be fine then only the drivetrain heat managment is limiting you, and they will find a solution for that. The VW stuff and Rimac didn't really get me into EVs but the McMurtry Spéirling fan car is sick, they are planning to build a street car from it and that seems insane, nothing on the road would be able to compete with it but then again it's a single seater and it will have a stupid price tag.

@eichler721 Год назад

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h the Plaid with stock brakes sucks and is worthless after 2 laps at most. However if you want to pay the extra for carbon ceramic ones then they are good but still not supercar levels. The GT2RS for instance can lap the Nordschleife 5 times with no brake heat issues and is far faster then the Plaid. We need to see the new Ceramic brakes to see how they hold up after the multiple laps.

@M16xblowDRO Год назад

Damn the Caddy can hang! Seriously smooth driving Matt! Thing would be a wicked daily

@DarrenMalone253 Год назад

Stunning hypers running with you, just epic! Your black wing just needs a huge wing LOL.

@bobsmoot8454 Год назад

The improvements Caddy has made on the real “V” series car are very impressive and it’s the chassis tuning that floors me. Like the ZL1-LE1, this thing handles and in a race from point “A” to point “B” it holds its own. The Tesla Plaid will annihilate it, but if you’re on a mountain or a back road, the Caddy will be cooling down when the Plaid shows up. Chassis, tires (they need to set it up on the computer so you can run Cup 2R tires), brakes, engine and tranny work almost as one now. This might make me trade my ‘12 V in for one of these.

@ArkadiaII Год назад

Seems like the Cadillac has really good heat soak characteristics. Not sure where the other cars were in their runs, but watching them pull into the pits as you go by gives you the sense that the Cadillac has better endurance on a stint! But it probably just looks that way... 😉

They have been compared and that benchmark was beat by the CT5 V Blackwing…in the manual! M5 gets recognition but in reality the Cadi is a faster (around the track) better handling super sedan. But don’t take my word for it look it up.

@rpitneyjr Год назад

Pretty sure Camissa did this on Hagerty (plus a Plaid)

@rdollie1 Год назад

Been done and the slower 6-speed variant of the Blackwing was faster than the CS around Willow Springs. Automatic would be the fastest sedan there.

CTS-V is the benchmark. M5 was dethroned in 2006. People have a hard time dealing With a domestic beating Germans
