The 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing adds a new track-oriented package, and we got to drive a prototype on one of our favorite tracks—Virginia International Raceway. Called the Precision package, it includes a host of chassis upgrades such as stiffer springs, retuned electronic controls, and available Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires.

The CT5-V Blackwing gets a new front-end design that's part of a facelift for the rest of the 2025 CT5 lineup.

The CT5-V Blackwing is still powered by a 668-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8.

The Precision package includes stiffer springs and bushings as well as retuned steering, damping, stability control, and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

GM believes the CT5-V Blackwing with the Precision package will be the fastest gas-powered four-door in Lightning Lap history.

The last CT5-V Blackwing we tested at Lightning Lap 2022 posted a time of 2:49.4; it needs to be 1.7 seconds quicker to beat the 2021 Porsche Panamera Turbo S.

We drove a prototype version of the CT5-V Blackwing with the Precision package at VIR.

On-track, the Blackwing's upgraded chassis components impressed us with the added grip and improved braking stability.

With the Precision package, the CT5 felt more stable and predictable in VIR's NASCAR section, which is difficult for many cars.

Cadillac hasn't said how much the Precision package will cost, but we'll likely learn that before it goes on sale in early 2025.

Keep going to see more photos of the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing's new Precision package.
