2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

[1Evil55]

When I was looking for my 24’ it seemed like there were a lot of the with CCB sitting and available but I didn’t want them bc of the $9k cost. So out of curiosity I called my local dealership and replacement cost for rotors and pads was over $18k with labor so I was like hellll no.

Worth every penny just to avoid the dust. Ceramic your wheels and barrels all you want. It might make the clean up easier but I consider no dust to clean easiest.

Uninspiring colors. Though I was fond of the controversial Rift Metallic. Would love to see Deep Space and Drift in person.

Maybe we get a preview of 2026 colors before the 2025's even deliver . =/

Would love to see Deep Space and Drift in person.

Somewhere here in another thread I have a picture of deep space. It's basically a dark gray, but has tiny gold flakes in it. It's very close to Shadow Metallic, but that has blue undertones. I'd like to see it outside in the sun.

This sounds like an agreeable color. I was not a fan of the ambiguous nature of shadow metallic bluehue.


Bonus would be if the gold flakes in DSM make tech bronze wheels more attractive.

There is also a youtube video with DSM that I thought was a pretty good view.

Dealer has a drift ct4 in transit, but I am trending toward a 'no' for baby blue..

Thank you.

Deep space is RPO GAI. You could check other GM brands to see if anyone has that paint code using a different name. It would be worth the aggravation before you order.

Any good California dealers to order from without any mark ups ?

I just picked up my '25 4BW in Drift late last week. To get the actual color in pictures has been difficult. This color shifts colors from light blue to gray in light/shade. It certainly isn't for everyone, but I absolutely love the color. My previous was a '23 Rift V. The BW is so different and so much better.

I checked out two 4s this past weekend in Drift, have a 5 order pending allocation in that color. One car was outside on an overcast day, the other was on the showroom floor.

Seeing it in person didn't change my mind, but I wondered how much metallic you see in direct sunshine? In shadow, the paint almost looked matte, it's cool for sure.

Actually think it looks good and these pictures

You don't see a lot of metallic at all. Very similar to Rift, it was there but difficult to catch. Funny you mention matte, I have already had a few comments saying the same and I agree, at times, it does appear to have a matte/satin finish.

Cadillac.com brochure for Blackwing

I never saw this page before, but at least you get a lot more options to visualize the colors and see the new front end and interior, etc.
