The Cadillac brand features vehicles with well-made interiors along with edgy styling. Although Cadillac makes several models featuring various V6 engine configurations and horsepower, we will focus on the Cadillacs with V8 engines. The V8 Cadillacs deliver immense power in a sporty, fun driving vehicle that puts the thrill back into driving.
The 2021 Cadillacs with V8 Power
The first Cadillac with V8 power was introduced in 1914 and has evolved to the uber-powerful CT5-V Blackwing edition. And what does the "V" designation mean, you may ask? The "V" designation is reserved for only the highest-performance Cadillac brands. The CT5-V Blackwing is the premier Cadillac performance vehicle. Also in the Cadillac V8 family is the venerable and luxurious SUV, the Cadillac Escalade.
CT-V Blackwing V8
The most potent Cadillac by far, the CT5-V, has a fire-breathing, 662 horsepower Blackwing engine under the hood. The 6.2-liter V8 is mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. A unique side note is the manual CT5-V is the only vehicle with a manual transmission in its class. Cadillac's goal was to create one of the most track-ready and hottest sports sedans on the market, and the Blackwing delivers. The tremendous power under the hood is managed with cutting-edge technology, including the latest in-vehicle control systems, along with a specially tuned chassis designed for the Blackwing engine. The powerful Blackwing engine propels the CT5-V from zero to 60 mph in a heart thumping 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of over 200 mph.
Cadillac Escalade SUV
The rear-wheel drive Escalade, with an optional 4-wheel drive system, has more than ample power for a large vehicle. The luxurious cabin provides a smooth and comfortable ride for the high output 6.2-liter V8 engine. The V8 cranks out 420 horsepower and is perfectly tuned to a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers brisk acceleration and confident lane passing. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade SUV accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph.
