At the same auction, in addition to CT5-V BLACKWING, CT4-V BLACKWING with the label "00 1" was also sold at the price of165,000 USD, and this mysterious buyer will also get the first unique rights and interests in the world.
The CT5-V BLACKWING uses an upgraded 6.2L supercharged V8 engine. Due to the higher air intake and improved exhaust system, it has a maximum power of 668 HP (498 kW) and a maximum torque of 893 Nm, making it the most powerful Cadillac car ever. Each engine is hand-made by GM at the Bowling Green assembly plant in Kentucky, with a signed engine manufacturer brand.
The maximum track speed of CT5-V BLACKWING exceeds 200mph (about 32 1km/h), and the official estimated acceleration time of 0-60 mph is 3.7 seconds (automatic transmission). Compared with CTS-V, the intake air flow increased by 46%. The high-output 1.7L four-leaf Eaton supercharger can generate positive pressure earlier in the speed range, so that the rotary molded A356T6 aluminum cylinder head can be used, which is stronger than the traditional aluminum cylinder head and can dissipate heat better.
The CT4-V BLACKWING is equipped with an improved version of Cadillac's 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. It improves the control system software and air intake system, with a maximum power of 472 HP (352 kW) and a maximum torque of 603 Nm. The low inertia (titanium aluminum) turbine impeller of its turbocharger can respond to the torque output more accurately in the whole speed range.
CT4-V BLACKWING officially estimated the top speed 189mph (about 304km/h), 0-60 mph: acceleration time of 3.8 seconds (automatic transmission), and the air intake increased by 39% compared with ATS-V. Using titanium connecting rod (manual gearbox only) and improved crankshaft counterweight can reduce the reciprocating load of main/connecting rod bearing. The repositioned piston injector directs oil to the bottom of the piston to improve temperature control.
Both V BLACKWING models have high-performance braking systems with front six-piston/rear four-piston calipers. The CT5-V BLACKWING brake system is the largest original brake disc in Cadillac history, with a diameter of 398mm. Besides, CT5-V? Black wing can use carbon ceramic brake disc, which is the first carbon ceramic brake disc in Cadillac history, which can reduce more weight, improve durability and reduce thermal attenuation.
Both cars come standard with a six-speed TREMEC manual transmission. Active speed matching can automatically adjust the engine speed to match the downshift, and the driver can shift gears without releasing the accelerator pedal. For the CT4-V black wing, the turbine speed can be maintained, thus speeding up the lap time. The other two cars can also choose 10 automatic transmission.
Both cars have enhanced electronic anti-skid rear differential. It is lighter and optimized for every driving mode and every performance traction management setting. Both cars are equipped with the fourth generation magnetic ride control (MR 4.0) electromagnetic suspension.
