This is the Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. It is a version of Caddy's rather brilliant V8-powered super saloon – sorry, super sedan – that'll be built in limited numbers from 2026. And as that name rather suggests, it's a bespoke performance car allowing its lucky new owner room for much customisation – sorry, customization – via options specially chosen by Cadillac.

The interior colours and materials also benefit from an expanded selection, allowing 'millions of different combinations'.
