The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing loses something with an automatic.
, though slightly larger, has that 662-hp monster of a V-8 linked to a six-speed manual gearbox.
Something you may have missed in the hullabaloo surrounding just how wonderful these cars are is that they are both available with automatic gearboxes. The Blackwings offer GM’s 10-speed torque-converter automatic, like the one offered in the Camaro ZL1 1LE. You read that right, it has 10 different forward gears. Crazy to think that four-speed autos were the norm just a moment ago.Like any car with this much power and an automatic transmission, there are benefits.
That’s not to say the automatic Blackwing is a bad car. Not even close. Most everything that is so great about the manual version sticks around in the auto. It’s still a handsome thing, squat with excellent proportions. This one didn’t have any of the extraneous aero or carbon fiber add-ons that other track-focused builds have, either. That made it fly under the radar.Also like other Blackwings, the interior is fine. The seats are great, if a little hard.
