Following its display at Pebble Beach August 14–15, Cadillac has announced a new program that pushes vehicle personalization into territory usually reserved for ultra-luxury brands. The company is launching Curated by Cadillac, an exclusive, high-touch customization service for a limited number of 2026 CT5-V Blackwing models. This new program gives a select group of buyers the tools to design a version of the super sedan that is entirely their own, from hand-painted exteriors to one-of-a-kind interior material combinations.

A Lesson From CELESTIQ

This new level of personalization is a direct result of Cadillac’s experience with its handbuilt, flagship CELESTIQ. The company is taking the lessons learned from that ultra-luxury program and applying them to its most potent sedan. “Curated by Cadillac embodies our commitment to delivering an elevated level of customization,” said John Roth, Vice President of Global Cadillac. “We are now offering a limited number of CT5-V Blackwing customers an opportunity to create a vehicle that is as unique as their own story.”

Unprecedented Choice for the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing

The core of the program is the sheer breadth of options. Clients can choose from an expanded palette of more than 160 exterior colors, including high-gloss and frost finishes. Artisans hand-paint each vehicle. The interior is even more personal, offering an expanded selection of colors and materials that clients can mix and match. Cadillac notes that these choices can create millions of different combinations, ensuring that no two cars will be alike. Each vehicle will be hand built at the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan.

The Concierge Experience

The program is more than just a large options list; it’s a guided design process. Each client will work with their dealer and a dedicated Cadillac concierge who has a professional background in a design-related field like fashion, fine arts, or entertainment. This concierge acts as a trusted advisor, working directly with the client to bring their specific vision for the car to life. This white-glove service is another element borrowed from the CELESTIQ client journey.

Supercar Customization With Supercharged Power

Despite the focus on luxury, the raw performance of the sedan remains untouched. Buyers of a Curated by Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will receive the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8, rated at 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. The choice between a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission also remains on the side. With a starting MSRP of approximately $158,000, production for these unique vehicles is set to begin in mid-2026 for customers in the U.S. and Canada.
