Cadillac just gave its fire-breathing CT5-V Blackwing the kind of luxury treatment usually reserved for its $340,000 Celestiq EV — and it’s exactly as over-the-top as it sounds.
The new Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing isn’t just a performance monster with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 and 668 horsepower. Now, you can personalize nearly every inch of it — from 160+ hand-painted colors to bespoke interior finishes — with a dedicated concierge walking you through every step. It’s part art project, part muscle sedan, and it’s only for the lucky few with deep pockets.
More Paint Choices Than a Home Depot Aisle
Cadillac will let you pick from more than 160 paint colors, including glossy and “Frost” satin finishes. Every paint job is hand-applied at GM’s Artisan Center in Michigan — the same place that builds the Celestiq — for a flawless, show-ready look.

The debut car? A stealthy-yet-striking Deep Amethyst Metallic satin finish that channels Cadillac’s 2011 Ciel concept. It’s a subtle nod to Monterey Car Week, where this beauty will be turning heads.
Million-Combo Interior Customization
Inside, it’s a choose-your-own-adventure of leather, Alcantara, piping, stitching, and carbon fiber. The options run into the millions of combinations — enough to make even Bentley owners jealous.
And yes, you still get the Blackwing’s headline act: that 668-hp supercharged V8 with either a 10-speed automatic or an old-school 6-speed manual with rev-matching and no-lift shifting.
Exclusive and Expensive
Only about 50 Curated Blackwings will be built for 2026 across the U.S. and Canada. Starting price? Around $158,000 — a 58% jump over the base Blackwing. That’s big money, but for those who want Celestiq-style exclusivity with a manual gearbox and tire-shredding power, it might just be worth it.
Bottom line:
The Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is proof that you can have both brute force and bespoke craftsmanship — if your wallet can keep up.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Kawasaki Z H2 SE stays one of the wildest bare bikes available on the market, turning in supercharged electricity with sudden comfort and premium tech. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for thrill-seekers who need adrenaline with ordinary usability, it’s tough to beat.
