\n\tThe Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing<\/a> is one of the most under-appreciated luxury cars on the market, with the power of a supercar and the looks of a Cadillac<\/a>. Now you can upgrade those looks even more, with an appearance package costing almost as much as another new Cadillac.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe CT5-V Blackwing Deep Ocean Package is $26,995, on top of the models\u2019s base price of $102,795. Relative to that number, it isn\u2019t so much, but it is considering Cadillac\u2019s not-so-distant past of offering prices that mere mortals can afford. Nowadays, the brand is going in the opposite direction with cars like the Celestiq<\/a>, which starts at $361,100. The CT5-V Blackwing isn\u2019t in that stratosphere, but it does want to compete with autos like the BMW M5<\/a> and Audi RS7 and, as such, must be priced like them.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Deep Ocean Package might, at any rate, communicate \u201cexpensive\u201d to the few who are able to get it. Just 200 CT5-V Blackwings will get the trim, according to GM Authority<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe package will include lots of carbon fiber, which is a must these days for luxury cars trying to glam up. The exterior paint is distinctive blue, first seen on the Optiq-V, while the inside is black with blue accents. The brake calipers are blue, and so are the seat belts. The front seats are \u201chigh-performance bucket seats,\u201d and the wheels are 19 inches wide and graphite colored. <\/p>\n

\n\tGM Authority also notes that \u201cwhile the Deep Ocean Package carries a $26,995 price tag, the combined price of some of its individual components totals $24,430 when optioned separately,\u201d which means that if you aren\u2019t one of the 200 buyers, you will be able to get most of the way there with existing options.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne could also forgo the Deep Ocean Package and have almost enough money to buy a second Cadillac, with a base CT4 starting at $36,000. That also illustrates the incredible range of Cadillacs on sale today, from cars going for as much as a well-equipped Toyota Camry to ones priced over 10 times that amount that want to compete with Rolls-Royce. GM will likely pick a lane at some point, either axing the low-priced cars and going full ultra-luxury or canceling the Celestiq and pretending like it never existed, but, for now, we can enjoy this strange moment.<\/p>\n
