The CT5-V Blackwing’s Precision Performance Package cuts seconds off track times and doesn’t upset street manners, but is it worth $18,000?

It’s hard to tell what’s crazier: that Cadillac is the last remaining automaker to offer a performance sedan with a V-8 and a manual transmission, or that the engineers behind the CT5-V Blackwing managed to push through the Precision package for the 2025 model year.

We're seeing what happens when the practicality of the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is double-underlined with a new long-roof body, as seen in these images.

Add the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package to that club. There are new, sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, stiffer springs and bushings, new rear toe links for additional rear camber,

Cadillac didn’t need to do this. No one would’ve batted an eye had the CT5-V Blackwing carried on with its original, 668-hp recipe until the book closed on its thundering V-8-with-a-manual party of one.
