The 'Curated by Cadillac' CT5-V Blackwing is a $158k bespoke super saloon Sorry, super-*sedan*. V8-powered Caddy will get new exclusive options Skip 5 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 5 Deep breath. 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'. The entire experience will be just like if you're ordering a Cadillac Celestiq, so each owner will be afforded their own 'concierge' who'll guide them through their luxury V8 performance car spec. None of this will include upping the spec on the Caddy's dark heart, though none is needed: each Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will mirror the 'regular' Blackwing spec. So that's a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 sending 668bhp and 659lb ft to the rear wheels via via your choice of a six-speed manual or 10-speed auto. Now for the final deep breath. Each of these cars will be hand-built in Michigan, with prices starting at $158,000… which is a fair chunk over the regular CT5-V Blackwing, which starts at $97,600.

2027 BMW M5 LCI Spied With Cleaner Neue Klasse Looks

You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. 2027 BMW M5 Will Move The Game Forward Our spies on the Old Continent have caught the facelift of the G90 BMW M5, and they tell us to expect plenty of changes, and not just on the surface. The current super sedan and its wagon sibling were only introduced a year ago, but BMW is not one to withhold new technology or even new design cues for future generations. Instead, the M5's mid-cycle update, or Life Cycle Impulse, as BMW calls it, will bring with it a look inspired by the Vision Neue Klasse concept and an interior with BMW's new Panoramic iDrive system, which was previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show at the beginning of the year.

At the front, the trademark kidney grilles will frame the width of the car, with Iconic Glow illumination giving the M5 a distinctive nighttime signature. Moving backward, the hood may be slightly massaged, but the wing mirrors seem unchanged, as do most of the other body lines, including the door panels and side skirts. Interestingly, however, the roof does not appear to be made of carbon fiber or BMW's incoming plant-based alternative, and we don't see a recess down its spine as on the current M5. Recent leaks reveal that the next-generation M3 is unlikely to get a composite roof either, but perhaps BMW wants to reserve that for Competition models, as was once the case. 2027 BMW M5 May Be Ridiculously Expensive At the back of the M5 LCI, the new taillight clusters are still placeholder units that won't be offered to customers, but their shape indicates that they won't deviate much from the current design. Future M cars are expected to have unique headlight graphics (and possibly colors), so we expect something similar at the rear. Then again, a quad-exit exhaust with a massive diffuser panel may be enough. We're not expecting much in the way of changes under the hood. The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain will carry over, and our spies say we should not expect any increases in output (a combined 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, for the record). A debut will happen sometime in 2026, possibly near the end of the year. Unfortunately, even though the M5 was just hit with a price increase for the 2026 model year, our spies say the facelift will cost around €150,000, or over $176,000. That's more than 50 grand pricier than the M5 is today, so we hope BMW can justify the extra outlay. Less weight, perhaps?
