2025 Cadillac V-Series: A Restyled CT5-V, and Le Mans Editions

This record's own dek states that a restyled CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing arrived with a 33-inch display, plus the 101-car Le Monstre and 50-car Petite Pataud Le Mans editions. This record's own overview states that Cadillac refreshed the CT5-V and CT5-V Blackwing for 2025 with new front and rear styling and a 33-inch LED touchscreen, that powertrains carried over, 360 hp and 405 lb-ft for the CT5-V with a ten-speed automatic and rear- or all-wheel drive and 668 hp and 659 lb-ft for the rear-drive Blackwing with a six-speed manual or ten-speed automatic, and that production was to begin in summer 2024.¹

This record's own overview states that two Le Mans-themed editions were announced in June 2024, the CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre, limited to 101 cars, and the CT4-V Blackwing Petite Pataud, limited to 50, and that no sourced 2025 model-year production totals were found for any of the cars, only the two announced special-edition limits themselves standing in for a model-year count.²

This record's own prices section documents a starting MSRP of $58,390 rear-drive and $60,390 all-wheel drive for the CT5-V, both including a $1,395 destination charge, a $63,590 starting price for the manual CT4-V Blackwing, and a $96,990 starting MSRP for the CT5-V Blackwing against MotorWeek's separately reported $99,090, $2,100 higher; since neither source states whether destination is included, this record does not treat the two as a conflict of the same measure. It also documents the $18,000 Precision Package for the CT5-V Blackwing.^3,4

This record's own engines section documents the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 at 360 hp and 405 lb-ft for the CT5-V and the LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 at 668 hp and 659 lb-ft for the CT5-V Blackwing. This record's own transmissions section documents the ten-speed automatic as standard on the CT5-V and both a six-speed manual and a ten-speed automatic as available on the CT5-V Blackwing.¹

This record's own options section documents the $18,000 Precision Package's track suspension content, higher spring rates, a larger front stabilizer bar, new bushings, steering knuckles, and rear toe links, and the $2,275 MHU ten-speed automatic offered in place of the CT4-V Blackwing's standard Tremec six-speed manual. It documents the ZLZ RPO for the CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Special Edition, Magnus Metal Frost paint with Phantom Blue interior accents, decals, and details, noting the same ZLZ code is also given for the CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud Special Edition Collector Series.^3,3

This record's own paint section documents three colors new for 2025, Deep Space Metallic, Drift Metallic, and Typhoon Metallic, each $625, alongside colors dropped for the year: the CT5-V lost Black Diamond Tricoat and Velocity Red, and the CT4-V Blackwing lost those two plus Mercury Silver Metallic and Midnight Steel Metallic. This record's own specifications section documents the CT5-V Blackwing as rear-wheel drive only with an EPA rating of 13/20/15 mpg for the automatic, and this record's own unpublished leads flag a GM Authority report, from a page that could not be accessed, that the Le Monstre package itself is priced at $32,500 over the base CT5-V Blackwing.^3,4
