2026 Cadillac V-Series: A Preliminary Last Year for CT4 and CT5

This record's own dek states that 2026 is the last model year of the CT4 and CT5, marked by a 26-car, 685-hp CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series and a CT4 production end set for June 2026. This record's own overview states that on May 1, 2026, ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Cadillac introduced the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series, 26 cars for the US and Canada, 685 hp and 673 lb-ft from the supercharged 6.2-liter V8, up from the standard Blackwing's 668 hp and 659 lb-ft, six-speed manual only, priced at $260,000 including the $18,000 Precision Package, with production scheduled for mid-2026.^1,2

This record's own overview states that Autoevolution, citing GM Authority, reported in February 2026 that CT4 orders would close the week of April 20, 2026 and production would end in June 2026, and that the CT5 line was reported to end after the 2026 model year. It states that this record is preliminary as of September 22, 2026, since no 2026 production figures were found in any source read for either the CT4 or CT5 lines.^3,1

This record's own production rows document the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series as an announced limit of 26 cars for the US and Canadian markets, powered by the 685-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with the six-speed manual. This record's own production notes state plainly that this is an announced limit rather than a confirmed production count, the only production figure this record carries for the entire model year across every V-Series car.¹

This record's own prices section documents the F1 Collector Series at $260,000, including the $18,000 Precision Package, with the destination-charge treatment not stated, the only priced car this record carries for the 2026 model year. This record's own engines section documents two ratings for the supercharged 6.2-liter V8: 685 hp and 673 lb-ft in the F1 Collector Series alone, against 668 hp and 659 lb-ft standard on the regular CT5-V Blackwing, a 17-hp and 14-lb-ft gain the F1 badge alone carries.^1,1

This record's own transmissions section documents the six-speed manual as the only transmission offered in the F1 Collector Series, with no automatic available, a restriction this record's own sources state explicitly rather than leave implied. This record's own paint section documents a range of CT5-V colors with prices, noting that the 2026 color articles for the CT4-V, CT4-V Blackwing, and CT5-V Blackwing could not be read because they were not archived and so are not used here, alongside Midnight Stone Frost as a color exclusive to the F1 Collector Series.^1,4

This record's own coverage field marks the year preliminary, and its interiors, specifications, performance, identification, conflicts, and unpublished leads sections are all empty, reflecting how little had been published about the 2026 model year by the time this record was compiled. This record's own overview states plainly that no 2026 production figures for any V-Series car were found in the sources read, leaving the F1 Collector Series' 26-car figure as the only production data this record carries for the year, and its options section is likewise empty for the same reason.¹
