If rumors are to be believed. Sorry, TCG ballers...you guys get stuck with the same motor the V has now.

Top-Spec Cadillac CT5-V Will Have Supercharged 6.2L V-8

It was expected to get the Blackwing turbo V-8 but apparently can only fit the supercharged 6.2L V-8.

• We hear that the new high-performance V version of the Cadillac CT5 won't have the engine we were expecting.
• Instead of the twin-turbo 4.2-liter Blackwing V-8 we anticipated, the new sports sedan will use the same supercharged 6.2-liter as its predecessor the CTS-V.
• The name of this upcoming CT5-V variant is still unclear, but it will likely arrive later this year.

The new top dog in the Cadillac CT5-V lineup will have a V-8 engine, but not the one we were expecting. Instead of Cadillac's twin-turbocharged 4.2-liter V-8, nicknamed Blackwing, this high-performance sedan is likely to have the same supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine as its predecessor the CTS-V, according to a source familiar with the project.

Kind of disappointed in that.

I mean, superchargers are great for immediate torque and all, but a pair of properly sized turbo's on a V engine can make more torque and more power but the packaging is harder.
