Cadillac hasn’t won a Formula 1 race on a Sunday yet, but now it has the perfect car for its superfans to buy on Monday.
The CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series is an extremely limited edition version of the sports sedan that ties to the new racing team that’s part of the Curated by Cadillac collection.
While the car is primarily about styling, its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 gets a power boost over the standard Blackwings, from 668 hp and 659 lb-ft and to 685 hp and 673 lb-ft, making it the most powerful internal combustion engine Cadillac ever sold.
All of it is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Cadillac is not offering it with an automatic option, which actually seems a little out of place in this case, considering Formula 1 cars have paddle-shifted gearboxes.
The car is finished in a matte black Midnight Stone Frost paint and gets black wheels, gray brake calipers, monochromatic badges plus an carbon fiber spoiler and rocker extensions with silver trim.
The doors feature the official F1 logo stamped into their lower front corners, which is also rendered in red on the spoiler, while FIA logos adorn the rocker panels.
Each car gets a build number plaque on the door jam and a Cadillac Formula 1 Team sill plate. The gear shift knob and seats also have F1 logos and the FIA logo is on the center console.
Cadillac hasn’t announced any performance specifications, but the standard CT5-V Blackwing manual can do 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and break the 200 mph barrier, according to Cadillac. On the other hand, the F1 Collectors Edition might break a bank or two.
Cadillac is building just 26 of the 2026 cars for the U.S. and Canada and has priced them at $260,000, which is about twice what a well-appointed CT5-V Blackwing costs, but it does include the $18,000 Precision Package that upgrades the suspension and adds summer performance tires and carbon ceramic brakes.
Production is scheduled to begin this summer just months before the current CT5 is discontinued at the end of the 2026 model year to make way for a next-generation sports sedan next year.
