2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing - Official Exterior Color's Photos - (CG)

[shbox]

I pulled the CG images of the 4 Infrared and the new Escalade in Radiant into powerpoint and did the ole eye dropper on a couple locations. The change is so subtle I cant tell a difference.

The new red makes me want to say "cinnamon".

Just saw a bmw in "Barcelona Blue". Might be similar to the midnight steel...

It better not be anything close to Barcelona Blue. My buddy has a 2022 m8 in Barcelona Blue and the color is phenomenal. I do not want to trade in my shadow metallic 5BW for a 2023 midnight. Barcelona no longer available for 2023 BMWs.

Any rear trunk lid profiles? Keeping an eye out for the new blackwing badge. I see the absence of the V on the front fenders now

no photos show any new badging....

I have a feeling it’s much darker. I have Shadow on my 22 5BW and a 23 5BW on order in Midnight. I’ll see how it goes, but I’m pretty attached to Shadow and may not give it up. But, my order may not get an allocation with the CF1.

The cg photos have a much warmer and diffuse lighting effect compared to last year. Like they were trying to simulate sunset, maybe. Hard to judge what the color will look like with some glossy reflections.

This is probably what it will look like. Pulled from GM merchandise site.

Confirmed as per Cadillac email this morning - 2022 owners can contact Cadillac to get theirs retroactively.

The rep I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about. Did you have better luck?

Wait your order actually went through? Does this mean they figured out a process? I was told to call back when they figured out a process for this.

I did

I had no issue, the woman I spoke with was amazingly helpful

Well your post urged me to call them again. Maybe this is the start of another wave of calls.

She said that currently there is no way for their system to order any badges. But they are now aware of the situation. What they are doing is taking down contact info and VINs and will reach back out to people once they can order the badges.

Did you rep say that they are going to ship some out or was it a take your info kinda thing.

Badges, we don't need no stinking badges!

I was told that we have to go thru the service department of our dealerships.

I would call again, get a different rep, and have them at least take down your info to be contacted once they have a plan. Or you might get lucky and get Burn813's rep who seems to be the only person who has a clue.

On the Cadillac website under the 2023 5 BW section all of the images/renderings look the same, except for under the “CT5 V-Series Features” page, there are images of the wheels for both the V and the V-BW. Here are those images for the BW:
