2020 Cadillac CT6-V Blackwing V8 Review // The $100,000 Unicorn

Antoine de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadill…

This and the Lexus GS F are my favorite modern sport sedans. Lot of car for 50k or so used

In comparison with the S Class the only downside is the interior Cadillac should have went all the way when designing the interior many people are going to buy the AMG because they feel like they are getting more for the money

I wish these were available rhd in Australia, what a fantastic car.

This was such an amazing car/engine, wish I could have picked one up.

I’d honestly take this over a Mercedes or BMW just because of how unique it is but also I feel this thing with some tuning and E85 it could be a German hunting monster

めちゃくちゃかっこいい！
日本ではキャデラック乗ってる人が少なく正規ディーラーもないけど、俺は欲しい！
昔乗っていた95エルドラドのようにドライブが楽しくなりそうな1台。

좋은차 맞습니다 그런데 2년만 지나면 폭탄 감가는 눙물이죠 독3사에 점령당한 한국에서는 위험부담이 참으로 큰차

Fire all GM Management.

That's cool to see the autoworkers put their names on the engine cover. It's a 4-door Vette! "Cadillac by Dre." Priceless!

No different than calling a Mustang a 5.0.

100k? For that lol no I’m better off getting a Mercedes for 40,000

For the first time since I was a kid, I'm excited about an American car! Thank you GM!

why couldnt they put these engines in the ct4v blackwings....

I had no idea this even existed

Whenever GM gets a car right, they immediately end it. Still an awesome car and great review.

As an owner of one of these, this car is so unknown, that it’s very existence shocks people at shows, out cruising etc. Its a great niche enthusiast car for people who like their M5’s and S63’s but want something American that sounds like an AMG 🔥

GM Made a BatMobile and people loved it and they cancelled it

Hey Dave

So no one is going to talk about the cockroach?

The word is vanity

Would it be fair to refer to this (in terms of performance) as a cheap alternative to an audi s8?

🤣🤣🤣👍🏾

I’ll never get to own a ct6 with the 4.2tt best I can hope for is 3.0tt but still I’ll fucking take it!

100g no way dodge boys win

SOO funny, to see Thomas driving the Brit crazy, refusing to give Cadillac back this CT6.

Like, how many of these ARE LEFT??? I WANT ONE BADLY!!!!

550HP ? it’s not 668HP ?
according to the autodrader video

i can't believe that the only thing i hated about this review is the mention or power headrest! powered f'ing headrests! you gotta be joking. how often do you actually move your headrest. that would have to be one of the most useless, overrated, waste of power and weight must have features on any car ever built. i know they're only reviewing not owning, so no foul no harm to them but, ONLY A TOTAL WANKER would even care about this being an option!!!!!

I’d imagine engine repairs on this must be $$$$. Extremely low volume engine and good luck finding parts and techs who really know how to work on it. It’s still fantastic though.

Whats the title of the first song please

Still want to see how this match up against the ls 500 inspiration package

Seriously, did Cadillac and every other car manufacturer of its kid forget that it's a luxury brand? This is basically a sports sedan with leather seats and the Cadillac emblem. When Hyundai does luxury better than anyone else, there's a serious problem. Yes, a luxury car should have a big engine. But not for speed. For smoothness and comfort. Now, they think if they slap a bunch of turbos on there to save gas, it's still a luxury car. Turbos are by definition at least somewhat laggy. If this is where technology is going, I hate it.

Unfortunately this car is just all about an engine. Cadillac can't compete against BMW. If they tried to the price of their car would cost just as much as the BMW. Cadillac is just selling you a lot of plastic.

GM didn’t actually cancel the CT6, just that Mary Barra believes China is GM’s primary market. The CT6 lives on there, and there are plans for updates too. Utterly shameful.

The engine is going to be unmaintainable since it was built for 1-2 years for 1 trim if 1 car.

I got mine♥️🤍💙

I think this Cadillac had the potential to become the top American luxury sedan of the last years, but it was overtaken by the Lincoln Continental. Exterior design is very good, but the interior…I don’t think so. Just my opinion.

Cadillac CT6 like BMW 730i and Audi A8 segment

Sucks this was not mademlonger and put in other platform would been cool in the ct5 blackwing

“America is a weird place”- James Inglesman
“James is a weird dude”- All Americans

🤣🤣🤣

Best intro

The mentioned the problems of the car towards the end. A luxury car is the sum of all of it`s details. You can put a 1,000 hp engine in a Camry and it`s still just a fast Camry. Cadillac understood this and took the car off market. They would haver never sold enough of those to make it worth while for them.

Blackwingg

Canceling this car is easily the biggest mistake in the entire history of the marque. THIS is the standard of the world, not the awkward and strange Celestiq!

This is the only cadillac i would like to own! But they are so rare and disc. 🥲

I just purchased an actual Kathy Walker assembled 2020 CT6V Blackwing today. The performance is incredible and my 2020 Escalade ESV is not even remotely in the neighborhood as far as performance is concerned. There is no comparison, and my 2020 Escalade is a beast. for an ESUV. Driving this vehicle was an absolute driving experience. The subtle experience of feel of speed is hard to quantify. I went from 70 to 95 on open road and didn't feel anything. The comments that the speed felt effortless are spot on.

When GM makes a car better than Corvette they start dreading their decision and cancel it

This is the best episode and that’s saying a lot
