Customization of the CT5-V Blackwing now offered by Cadillac
Curated by Cadillac: A New Era of Personalized Luxury
Cadillac is taking the luxury car market by storm with its new customization program, Curated by Cadillac. This innovative program offers an unprecedented level of personalization for the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing, transforming it from a high-performance sedan into a unique, collector-level vehicle.
The program begins with an expanded palette of over 160 exterior colors, including high-gloss, matte, and frost finishes. This is a significant increase compared to the standard 9 colors available on the base CT5-V Blackwing. The interior customization options are equally impressive, with millions of possible combinations for the cabin trim and finishes, far beyond the standard interior options.
Each Curated CT5-V Blackwing is hand-built at Cadillac’s Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, where skilled craftsmen apply the unique finishes and assemble the vehicle to show-quality standards. This hand-built approach mirrors that of Cadillac’s ultra-luxury Celestiq production process.
Buyers of the program are assigned a Cadillac concierge who assists them in selecting colors and materials to ensure a tasteful and personalized final product. The concierge service helps avoid poor styling choices and guides customers through the extensive options, ensuring a one-of-a-kind luxury sedan that embodies the buyer’s unique story and taste.
The program starts at a premium of approximately $158,000 MSRP, reflecting the exclusivity, craftsmanship, and customization involved compared to the standard CT5-V Blackwing which starts at about $101,000.
The 2026 CT5-V Blackwing is powered by a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that is supercharged and produces 688 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission is available in addition to a 10-speed automatic, offering a choice between traditional and modern driving experiences.
The Curated by Cadillac program is part of a growing trend among automakers today, challenging the ultra-luxury market, including brands like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Mercedes-Maybach. The CT5-V Blackwing is intended to disrupt this market and offer a unique, bespoke luxury car experience.
However, it's worth noting that the extensive customization options may potentially reduce the resale value of the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing due to the preference for stock cars in the used market.
In summary, the Curated by Cadillac program offers an unprecedented level of personalization through an enormous selection of hand-applied exterior colors, extensive interior customization, hand-assembly craftsmanship, and concierge guidance. Each 2026 CT5-V Blackwing is a truly unique, hand-built luxury performance sedan. Production of the Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will begin in the middle of next year.
