With the new Curated by Cadillac program, buyers can make a few 2026 CT5-V Blackwings exactly how they want them. The carefully chosen CT5 Blackwings come in an endless number of exterior and interior color choices, just like the Cadillac Celestiq, which costs more than $340,000. According to Cadillac, dealers determine the final pricing, but handcrafted models have a starting price of $158,000. The 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing in the picture above did not belong to your grandfather. Instead, the Cadillac Celestiq, a hand-built moonship, costs over $340,000 and can be customized in various ways. The CT5 Blackwing is an all-wheel-drive EV with 655 hp. It is also part of Cadillac’s new Curated by Cadillac program and has a 668 hp supercharged V-8 engine that will burn the rear wheels. Cadillac says it will only make a few of these carefully chosen CT5 Blackwings, but people who want to buy one will be able to choose from more than 160 paint colors. A live person paints the chosen color at Cadillac’s Artisan Center, which is on the campus of GM’s Global Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. This embarrassing level of wealth continues into the Caddy’s cabin, where customers can pick from what seems like an endless number of color and material choices. For customers with high standards who want help, the Curated by Cadillac service includes a personal assistant who ensures the final product is both beautiful and refined. The customer talks to a Cadillac salesperson and a concierge with real design skills, whether they are in fashion, the arts, or another field. This way, they know that a stranger won’t give them bad advice. Besides, ultra-luxury brands like Bentley and Rolls-Royce are usually the only ones who let you customize this much, so make the most of it. How do I get on the list of people who are looking for a Curated Cadillac CT5-V Black Wing? It’s not clear how many will be offered between the US and Canada. This unique Blackwing will be priced from $158,000, with production scheduled to start in mid-2026. However, that amount is likely to increase because Cadillac says the dealer will set the final price.
