Four Doors, 668 Horsepower: Cadillac’s Blackwing Arrives in The Crew Motorfest

From the side, it’s a four-door Cadillac. Under the bonnet, it’s a different proposition: a supercharged V8 and the option of a six-speed manual. That combination is the hook of the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing trailer, which introduces the 2025 model as a Street Tier 2 car in The Crew Motorfest. The Blackwing arrives on November 11, 2026, as part of the Year 4 Pass, and Ubisoft’s Season 11 lineup also lists it for the in-game shop on the same date.

There’s also a way to get behind the wheel before deciding whether to add it to your garage. This week’s On the Roads Summit Contest features the Cadillac as a loan car in From Oah’u to Kaua’i, giving its debut a race of its own.

What Makes This Cadillac a Blackwing?

Cadillac’s description of the real 2025 CT5-V Blackwing helps explain the trailer’s muscle-car framing. Its 6.2-litre supercharged V8 produces 668 hp and 659 lb-ft of torque. Buyers could choose between a six-speed manual and a ten-speed automatic, an unusual pairing of choices for a luxury saloon with that much power. Those are Cadillac’s figures for the road car; Ubisoft classifies its Motorfest counterpart as Street Tier 2.

The 2025 model also received a revised grille and front fascia, updated front fenders, and a 33-inch display inside. The changes capture the two sides of the car: a cabin equipped like a contemporary luxury saloon and an exterior shaped around its performance ambitions. Cadillac even offered an enhanced Performance Data Recorder for drivers who wanted to review their time on track.

The optional Precision Package makes those ambitions clearer. Cadillac focused on the chassis, with stiffer springs, revised suspension components, and recalibrated dampers and steering. Carbon-ceramic brakes were part of the package as well. It’s a useful detail about the real Blackwing: Cadillac was interested in how precisely the car could enter and exit a corner, even though the V8 is the part most likely to grab attention in a trailer.

Try It on Loan in the On the Roads Summit

The most direct introduction in Motorfest is From Oah’u to Kaua’i. Ubisoft lists it as a race with no modifier, using a loaned 2025 Blackwing. If you’re curious about the car but haven’t added it to your collection, that race lets you try it in competition without making a garage purchase first.

The wider Summit mixes street and touring machinery, with loan events also featuring the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Touring Car and 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant. The 2008 Spyker C8 is listed as the Gold reward for the overall contest. That distinction is worth keeping straight: the Cadillac is the featured loan car for one race, while the Spyker is the car players can earn through their Summit result.

Ubisoft also lists a Custom Bundle for the Blackwing at 131,750 Crew Credits. It pairs the car with UFO Beam Nitro, Cyan Edge Tire, and Nitrogen Smoke. That is the price of the complete bundle, including its three vanity items.

Where the Cadillac Fits in Year 4

The Blackwing is one of the scheduled vehicle drops for the Year 4 Pass, which launched alongside Season 11 in October. Ubisoft’s store describes the pass as 16 vehicles delivered through monthly drops, plus five exclusive vehicles included with Tomb Raider: Secrets of Ni’ihau. That expansion also adds its own PvE experience.

There’s a clear change of pace within the season’s lineup. October brought the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato to the Rally category, while the Automobili Pininfarina Battista and Italdesign Zerouno are scheduled for December 23 as Hypercars. The Blackwing fills the space between those releases with something different: an American performance saloon for the Street Tier 2 garage. And with a Summit loan on its debut week, the quickest way to see if that combination works for you is to race it.
