The refresh ushers in some visual tweaks, upgraded tech, and, perhaps most importantly, GM's [Super Cruise]() hands-free driving tech. Visually, you'll be hard-pressed to immediately spot the differences between the old and the new models. Its vertical LEDs are new and quite good-looking, now living as a single piece with the headlights rather than as separate units. There's also a new and more aggressive front splitter, as well as some optional carbon fiber bits like a spoiler and some interior trim. [Cadillac]() added a few new colors, too, such as the killer Typhoon Metallic green. ![]() **Cadillac** Inside, Cadillac swapped out the old dual-screen setup for the 33-inch touchscreen that houses the gauges and infotainment system, just like in the Escalade. There's also a new performance screen that displays power and torque in a neat dyno-like graph, so you can see your exact power curve. Other performance information such as G-forces and tire temperatures can be seen as well, and drivers can customize what info is displayed on the large screen. Track-goers will appreciate the updated lap analyzer tool, too, which not only gets updated looks but can actually coach you with tips on how to lap tracks faster. So yeah, you can now fire your race coach, it seems. Most notably, Cadillac is expanding its Super Cruise lineup to the CT5, which means the Blackwing can also be enjoyed semi-autonomously, just like the Escalade and [Lyriq](). ![]() **Cadillac** Mechanically, the CT5-V Blackwing is unchanged. It still packs the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. Thankfully, Caddy didn't give up on the six-speed manual transmission option, but for those who want two pedals, the ten-speed automatic is still here, too. In fact, the automaker claims that 50% of buyers are still opting for the manual. Magnetic dampers are still available and it still gets Brembo brakes front and rear. Sales of the Cadillac CT5-V were up 31% in 2023 over the previous year. Making it fresher looking and giving it better technology should only make it more attractive to customers. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
