Cadillac CT5-V will get the supercharged V-8 of the old CTS-V.
2065438+In May 2009, Cadillac released the CT5-V, but it was not a V car in the traditional sense. Equipped with a 355-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6, its positioning is more in line with the company's previous mid-range V-Sport nomenclature. After the company planned to install a more serious model above CT5-V, we soon learned about it, but so far, we know nothing about it except some disguised spy photos and exhaust sounds.

Citing sources familiar with the project, our racing car and driver colleagues reported that the top CT5-V will get a version of the 640 HP LT4 6.2 liter supercharged V-8, which was found in the old CTS-V, the predecessor of the racing car. This contradicts the previous rumors that this car may use Cadillac's new Blackwing twin-turbo V-8 engine. So far, this engine has only been used on CT6-V and has been discontinued.

Car drivers believe that packaging is the main reason for this move. Remember, the black wing uses a double-top cam design. This means that it is higher and wider than the compact push rod LT4, even if a supercharger is installed. As the racers and drivers pointed out, the CT5-V is the only car in GM's lineup, and we heard that it may adopt the black wing. This news means that the engine may have just been retired, which is a pity.

Car Driver also said that the hotter version of CT5-V's younger brother CT4-V will be equipped with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 in the ATS-V that is now discontinued.

Since Cadillac uses the V name to specify its mid-range performance models, we are not entirely sure what to call these upcoming top models. We heard that the company may really use the name of Blackwing as the decoration level. No matter what their names are, we can't wait to keep up.
