On the eve of the Miami Grand Prix, Cadillac has fired a bold opening shot in its Formula 1 journey. Introducing the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series, an ultra-exclusive, track-bred machine that celebrates the brand’s arrival on the Formula 1 grid in 2026.
Limited to just 26 units worldwide, this is more than a car, it’s a statement. A collector-grade performance sedan that blends Cadillac’s V-Series legacy with the high-stakes energy of Formula 1.
Motorsport DNA, Refined for the Road
Finished in a stealthy Midnight Stone Frost, the Blackwing F1 Collector Series channels Cadillac’s future F1 livery through a clean, aggressive design language. Carbon fiber accents, subtle silver pinstriping, and darkened badging create a purposeful, race-inspired presence without unnecessary theatrics.
Look closer, and the details tell the real story. Official branding from both Formula 1 and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile is seamlessly integrated throughout, from CNC-machined engine components to laser-etched insignias and even 3D-printed interior elements. Each car is individually serialized, turning every unit into a rolling piece of motorsport history.
The Most Powerful Blackwing Ever
Under the hood lies Cadillac’s ferocious 6.2-liter supercharged V8, now pushed to 685 horsepower and 673 lb-ft of torque thanks to an upgraded supercharger developed with GM Motorsports.
Even more remarkable? It comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, a rarity in today’s performance landscape and a clear nod to purists. Paired with Cadillac’s Precision Package, this is the most track-focused Blackwing ever built.
A Milestone for Cadillac Performance
The CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series isn’t just about numbers, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team. As Cadillac steps onto the world’s biggest motorsport stage, this car serves as a tangible link between road and race.
Ultra-Rare, Instantly Iconic
With production set for mid-2026 in North America, all 26 examples are destined for collectors. And with Cadillac’s Formula 1 future just beginning, this special edition could become one of the most significant modern V-Series models ever produced.
Bottom line: This isn’t just a faster Blackwing, it’s Cadillac planting its flag in Formula 1, wrapped in one of the last great analog performance sedans of the modern era.
