Cadillac is bringing bespoke luxury to its muscle-bound flagship sedan with the announcement of Curated by Cadillac, a high-end personalization program available for a limited number of 2026 CT5-V Blackwing models. Blending cutting-edge performance with ultra-luxury customization, this program channels the brand’s experience from the handcrafted Cadillac Celestiq into something far more visceral — and powerful.

“We’re taking the CT5-V Blackwing experience to the next level,” said John Roth, Vice President of Global Cadillac. “This isn’t just customization — it’s a full-on design collaboration tailored to the customer.”

Ultra-Exclusive Customization

The Curated by Cadillac experience goes well beyond a few paint swatches and wheel choices. It offers:

  • More than 160 exterior colors, with high-gloss and frost finishes — all hand-painted to show car standards.

  • Expanded interior combinations, with premium materials, new color options, and seemingly endless design possibilities.

  • Personal design concierge service, leveraging expertise from the worlds of fine art, fashion, and interior design.

Each customer will work directly with a Cadillac concierge who brings a deep design background — some having worked on celebrity homes or iconic brand collaborations — ensuring every CT5-V Blackwing reflects the buyer’s unique personality.

Same Beast Under the Hood

Despite the elevated luxury, Cadillac hasn’t dulled the car’s claws. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 still roars with 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque, with your choice of 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.

This blend of bespoke craftsmanship and raw power is rare — and by design. Each unit will be hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, just like the CELESTIQ. Production begins mid-2026, and MSRP starts around $158,000 (excluding fees).
