Cadillac is taking bespoke performance luxury to new heights with the launch of “Curated by Cadillac”, an exclusive customization program available on a limited number of 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing models. This highly personalized experience draws inspiration from the brand’s ultra-luxury, hand-built Cadillac CELESTIQ, giving select clients the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind performance sedan that reflects their individual style.
“Curated by Cadillac embodies our commitment to delivering an elevated level of customization,” said John Roth, vice president, Global Cadillac. “Drawing upon experience from the ultra-luxury, hand-built CELESTIQ, we are now offering a limited number of CT5-V Blackwing customers an opportunity to create a vehicle that is as unique as their own story.”
A New Standard in Personalized Luxury
This exclusive program takes the art of vehicle customization far beyond the standard options list…
• Exterior Colors and Finishes: Clients will have access to an expanded palette of more than 160 colors, including both high-gloss and frost finishes. Each color is hand-painted by artisans to meet Cadillac’s exacting quality standards.
• Interior Colors and Materials: An expanded selection of premium materials and colors can be mixed and matched in millions of unique combinations, allowing owners to design a cabin environment as individual as they are.
An Elevated Client Experience
“Curated by Cadillac” isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s a comprehensive luxury experience. The program borrows from the CELESTIQ’s high-touch approach, pairing each client with both their dealer and a dedicated Cadillac concierge.
Each concierge comes from a design background and has worked in fields such as fashion, entertainment, fine arts, and luxury home interiors. Their experience collaborating with some of the world’s most renowned artists and brands ensures clients have a trusted advisor throughout the creation process.
Legendary Blackwing Performance
While the customization is all-new, the Curated by Cadillac 2026 CT5-V Blackwing retains its celebrated mechanical heart: a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 producing 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque on premium gasoline. Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 10-speed automatic – ensuring the drive is as engaging as the design.
Every Curated by Cadillac 2026 CT5-V Blackwing will be hand-built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan, with production beginning in mid-2026. The model will be sold in the U.S. and Canada, with a starting MSRP of approximately $158,000, including destination freight charge (excluding tax, title, and dealer fees; dealer sets final price).
With extremely limited availability, “Curated by Cadillac” is poised to become one of the most desirable expressions of American performance luxury – a perfect blend of artisan craftsmanship, personalization, and raw Blackwing power.
