To celebrate the 101st anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Cadillac has unveiled its special edition CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition. This exclusive variant is now available for purchase.
With only 101 examples produced, the CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition draws inspiration from the Cadillac Series 61 Coupe that took part in the 1950 Le Mans race. This top-tier saloon merges distinctive styling with outstanding performance abilities.
A Top-Performing Special Edition Bearing Racing Legacy
The CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition honors the original Le Monstre, which was a racing version of the Cadillac Series 61 Coupe that competed in the 1950 Le Mans 24 Hour race.
The initial model caught notice due to its sleek aerodynamics and robust performance. To pay homage to its racing history, Cadillac has produced this exclusive limited-edition version.
The outside showcases a matte Magno Frost metallic coating along with Stormhawk Blue carbon fiber highlights on the front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and spoiler.
Regal blue brake calipers boost its appearance, whereas engravings of 'Le Monstre' and '75 Years' symbols underscore its legacy.
Distinctive designs decorate the lower front doors, and the legacy number 2 is displayed on the seats and sill plates.
Stunning Performance with Unique Interiors
The CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition boasts a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that generates 677 horsepower along with 659 lb-ft of torque. This vehicle can go from 0 to 100 km/h (or 0 to 62 mph) in merely 3.6 seconds.
Purchasers have the option to select either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 10-speed automatic one. In the manual variant, a meticulously designed shift knob enhances its premium feel.
The interior comes in dual-color choices: Sky Cool Gray paired with Phantom Blue or Jet Black combined with Phantom Blue. Inside, you'll find seats adorned with heritage stitching, high-end carbon fiber accents, and a 3D-printed emblem on the shift knob.
