The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is probably the most highly effective manufacturing Caddy ever constructed. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine cranks out 668 horsepower, inserting it among the many elite muscle sedans of the world. However what if it wasn’t a sedan? As soon as upon a time, you possibly can get its predecessor in two-door coupe format. And from what we see on this unofficial rendering, the CT5 would make an excellent two-door GT automobile.
Earlier than diving into the coupe’s creation, let’s think about the Cadillac CT5’s design language. That is what TheSketchMonkey does within the above YouTube video as he creates the coupe, and he raises some very attention-grabbing factors. Some have criticized the CT5 for conservative styling, and it is actually a stark distinction to what’s taking place as of late at BMW. However the video factors out how the CT5’s varied physique traces mix with design cues front-to-back, creating a really satisfying look. Actually, one might simply argue the CT5’s conservative options are those who made BMW well-known via the Eighties and Nineteen Nineties. Generally, extra is not higher.
As such, making a clean-looking two-door CT5-V Blackwing from the sedan is not actually that tough. To stability out the greenhouse, the hood is stretched only a bit and the roofline drops ever-so-slightly. The already-swoopy high interprets effectively to a two-door coupe, giving the automobile a glossy fastback ambiance with a traditional GT look. Different touches embrace a modest physique equipment to present the CT5 a decrease stance, however other than minor changes to options such because the headlights, that is it. And we should admit – it seems fairly good.
To reiterate, that is an unofficial rendering and there is nearly no likelihood of Cadillac providing something like this. With a base worth of $85,000 and optioned-up costs effectively into six figures, the CT5-V Blackwing is already a distinct segment, low-volume machine. There’s a good smaller marketplace for costly two-door machines, however with the present Blackwing fashions marking the tip of internal-combustion efficiency from Cadillac, it positive could be good to see one final V8-powered coupe with a Caddy crest prowling the streets.
