If you drive in Henderson, you already know the trade-off most performance cars ask you to make: thrilling on a back road, exhausting in daily traffic on the 215. Cadillac built V-Series to close that gap.
Cadillac V-Series is Cadillac's performance lineup, currently made up of seven models: CT4-V, CT4-V Blackwing, CT5-V, CT5-V Blackwing, Escalade-V, LYRIQ-V, and OPTIQ-V. Each one pairs standard Cadillac luxury with sharper handling, stronger acceleration, and V-Series-specific engineering, from turbocharged sedans to the first electric SUVs to carry the badge.
Findlay Cadillac has helped drivers throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and Summerlin get into V-Series vehicles for years, and this page walks through every model currently in the lineup: what each one offers, how the specs compare, and which one actually fits how you drive.
Lineup Overview
Seven models currently carry the V-Series badge, split across three groups: standard V-Series sedans, the more track-focused Blackwing sedans, and the newer V-Series SUVs, including two all-electric models. The table below lines up the basics.
| Model | Body Style | Starting MSRP* | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| CT4-V | Compact sport sedan | $50,600 | Drivers who want an agile daily sedan with real V-Series character |
| CT4-V Blackwing | Compact sport sedan | $63,600 | Buyers who want a more focused, enthusiast-grade CT4 |
| CT5-V | Midsize sport sedan | $58,300 | Executive comfort with a stronger performance edge |
| CT5-V Blackwing | Midsize sport sedan | $98,900 | Cadillac's halo sedan for serious driving enthusiasts |
| Escalade-V | Full-size SUV | $168,000 | Families and professionals who want space, presence, and power |
| LYRIQ-V | Electric SUV | $78,595 | Buyers who want V-Series performance with zero tailpipe emissions |
| OPTIQ-V | Electric SUV | $67,300 | Drivers who want a smaller, quicker electric performance SUV |
*The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price excludes destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Dealer sets final price.
The easiest way to narrow this list is by body style and budget first, then by how you actually want the car to feel. CT4-V and CT5-V are the more approachable entry points into V-Series ownership: quick, composed, and still comfortable for a commute down the 215 or out to the airport. CT4-V inventory and CT5-V inventory are the places to start if that's your lane.
Blackwing models exist for a different kind of buyer: someone who wants Cadillac's most track-capable sedans, full stop. CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing trade some everyday softness for a genuinely serious driving experience, including a 6-speed manual option on both.
Escalade-V keeps the size and presence Henderson buyers expect from a Cadillac SUV, then adds the power to back it up. And LYRIQ-V and OPTIQ-V represent where V-Series is headed next: instant electric torque without giving up the ride quality and cabin refinement V-Series buyers already expect.
V-Series Sedans
Accessible performance with everyday luxury
CT4-V is the most accessible way into V-Series ownership, and it doesn't feel like an entry-level car once you're in it. Sport-bolstered front seats come standard, leather seating surfaces are available, and a 14-speaker Bose premium surround sound system fills the cabin. The most affordable V-Series model still gets the full luxury treatment.
Manual option, data tools, and serious driver focus
Step up to Blackwing and the details get more serious. Every CT4-V Blackwing includes a high-performance steering wheel borrowed from Cadillac's V-Series.R race cars, with quick-access buttons for V-Mode, plus a serialized steering wheel plate unique to that specific car. Add the available Performance Data Recorder and Cosworth Toolbox software, and you can review your own driving data from a home computer. This is the sedan built for drivers who want to study their driving, not just enjoy it.
Larger cabin, premium sound, and a balanced performance feel
CT5-V trades the CT4-V's compact footprint for more cabin space and a more executive feel, backed by a 15-speaker AKG premium surround sound system. Sport-bolstered seating and available leather surfaces carry over from the CT4-V, but everything sits a size class up. For Henderson drivers who want V-Series presence without CT5-V Blackwing money, this is the sweet spot.
Halo sedan performance with available carbon fiber packages
CT5-V Blackwing backs up its track credentials with a rare honor: five consecutive Car and Driver 10Best Cars awards, most recently for 2026. It rides on 19-inch wheels wrapped in summer-only, low-profile performance tires, with available genuine carbon fiber packages and a standard Performance Data Recorder for reviewing your own laps. Few sedans at any price back up their reputation with five straight years of 10Best wins.
V-Series SUVs and EVs
Full-size space with V-Series power and presence
Escalade-V keeps every inch of Escalade's footprint and adds a curved, pillar-to-pillar 55-inch display across the dashboard, an AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker audio system, and 24-inch wheels with a laser-etched V-Series logo on the calipers. Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 pairs with Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, a combination unique to this SUV in the lineup. It's the rare full-size SUV built to feel like a driver's car, not just a family hauler.
Electric performance with signature V-Series sound and speed
Cadillac calls LYRIQ-V the quickest Cadillac ever built, a claim backed by a Cadillac-estimated 3.3-second 0-60 time. Beyond straight-line speed, it layers in Signature Sounds, synchronized interior and exterior audio cues tied to acceleration and regenerative braking, plus 22-inch reverse-rim wheels laser-etched with the V-Series logo. It also earned Top Gear's 2026 U.S. Car Awards SUV of the Year. This is the model that proves an electric Cadillac can still feel like a V-Series car.
Compact electric performance with Super Cruise technology
OPTIQ-V packs V-Series design cues into Cadillac's smallest electric SUV, including a Mondrian-pattern rear quarter glass panel that nods to the flag long associated with V-Series racing heritage, plus an available Santorini Blue interior accent package. Its standard Super Cruise hands-free system earned MotorTrend's Best Tech award for 2025. At just 190 inches long, OPTIQ-V proves V-Series identity doesn't require the biggest footprint.
Performance & Technology
Every V-Series model shares a foundation: Magnetic Ride Control, which reads the road up to 1,000 times per second and adjusts damping in real time, an electronic limited-slip rear differential for better cornering grip, and Brembo performance brakes. Selectable driver modes, including V-Mode and Performance Traction Management, let you tune throttle response, steering weight, and stability control to match the road or your mood.
Turbocharged and supercharged options for every kind of driver
CT4-V uses a 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, with a Cadillac-estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds. Step up to CT4-V Blackwing and you get a 3.6L twin-turbo V6 making 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft, dropping that time to 3.9 seconds, with a 6-speed manual transmission available for drivers who want to shift for themselves.
CT5-V runs a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 rated at 360 horsepower and 405 lb-ft, reaching 60 mph in a Cadillac-estimated 4.6 seconds. CT5-V Blackwing is the halo sedan of the lineup: a 6.2L supercharged V8 producing 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft, a 3.4-second 0-60 time, and available carbon fiber aerodynamic packages plus a Performance Data Recorder for reviewing your own driving.
High-output SUV performance, including all-electric torque
Escalade-V carries a 6.2L supercharged V8 as well, tuned for 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft, moving a full-size SUV to 60 mph in a Cadillac-estimated 4.4 seconds. That's a meaningful number for Henderson families who want one vehicle that handles a Lake Mead weekend trip and still feels special on the drive home.
LYRIQ-V and OPTIQ-V run dual-motor all-electric powertrains with a Velocity Max mode for peak output. LYRIQ-V is rated at a Cadillac-estimated 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft in Velocity Max, hitting 60 mph in 3.3 seconds with a Cadillac-estimated 285 miles of range. OPTIQ-V delivers 519 horsepower and the same 650 lb-ft figure, reaching 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a Cadillac-estimated 275 miles of range. Both add Continuous Damping Control and an exclusive Competitive Mode, plus standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance on LYRIQ-V.
For Henderson drivers, that spread of powertrains matters beyond the spec sheet. Desert heat and long stretches of open highway around Lake Mead put real demands on cooling and suspension tuning, not just straight-line speed, and Henderson's proximity to Las Vegas Motor Speedway gives local V-Series owners a legal outlet to actually explore what these cars can do.
