Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing stands as the pinnacle of Cadillac's performance offerings, powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 668 horsepower. This model combines cutting-edge technology and performance with a sophisticated design, featuring a lightweight chassis and advanced aerodynamics. It embodies Cadillac's ambition to rival European luxury sports sedans, proving that American engineering can deliver extreme performance and luxury. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2022 Cadillac entry sits in the S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same S1 Class (supercar tier) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2022 Acura NSX Type S and 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, which is the S1 Class (supercar tier) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
CT5-V Blackwing is the last manual-transmission, gasoline V8 Cadillac ever sold. The LT4 6.2 supercharged V8 makes 668hp through a Tremec six-speed manual or ten-speed automatic. In S1-class events on long Japanese road routes the V8 torque carries it through corner exits harder than most rivals in the same window.
Where it shines
S1 class fits faster road events, longer point-to-points and online cruise lobbies focused on supercar showcases.
Tuning starting point
Tunes here often balance launch grip vs top-end. If you mostly run open road events, prefer a tune with steadier mid-throttle response over absolute V-max.
How to get 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
