Cadillac has marked its first home race in Formula 1 with the launch of a limited edition CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series, with just 26 units to be produced.The ultra exclusive model has been revealed on the eve of the Miami Grand Prix<\/a>, linking directly to the brand\u2019s entry onto the Formula 1 grid in 2026 and positioning the car as a flagship expression of its V-Series performance line.<\/p>\n

Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, said: \u201cThe CT5-V Blackwing embodies the very best of Cadillac track-capable performance. With the F1 Collector Series, we’re channeling the energy and innovation of Formula 1 into a road-ready sedan that feels every bit as special as our entry into the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of the 26 vehicles is curated to be a centerpiece in any collection and a true celebration of Cadillac’s new era in Formula 1<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Collector Series has been developed in collaboration with Formula 1 and the FIA, featuring extensive branding integration across the car, including F1 and FIA logos on the bodywork, interior components and even the supercharger cover.<\/p>\n

Finished in Midnight Stone Frost, the car mirrors the Cadillac Formula 1 team identity with Carbon Flash Metallic wheels, Harbor Gray brake calipers and carbon fibre bodywork accented by a Switchblade Silver pinstripe.<\/p>\n

Further detailing includes embossed and laser etched branding, as well as a Builder\u2019s Badge with unique serialisation for each unit, reinforcing its collector focused positioning.<\/p>\n

The interior and exterior follow a monochromatic design theme, while multiple F1 themed elements have been incorporated through advanced manufacturing techniques, including 3D printing and CNC machining.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, the model is powered by a 6.2 litre supercharged V8 producing 685 horsepower and 673 lb ft of torque, making it the most powerful Blackwing ever produced.<\/p>\n

The upgraded supercharger has been developed in collaboration with GM Motorsports, with each unit featuring a CNC machined supercharger cover.<\/p>\n

The car is offered exclusively with a 6 speed manual transmission and includes the Precision Package as standard, underlining its focus on driver engagement and track capable performance.<\/p>\n

Production of the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series is set to begin in mid 2026, with availability limited to the United States and Canada, aligning with Cadillac\u2019s push to establish its identity in Formula 1 through both competition and road going performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cadillac has marked its first home race in Formula 1 with the launch of a limited edition CT5-V…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,3550,309254,817,35119,813,816,283711,85],"class_list":["post-644688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cadillac","tag-cadillac-formula-1-team","tag-f1","tag-f1-news","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-miami-grand-prix","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
