CT5-V CT5-V BW F1 Collector Series

[RDATLTE]

Someone on the CT5V Facebook page claims they were offered an allocation from a dealership to the tune of $360K for one of these F1 editions. This is one of the dumbest cash grabs I’ve seen in a while.

It's doubtful that allocations have even been assigned yet.

Does Caddy smoke crack? I want to meet the sucker, I mean buyer of one of these. I have bridges he'd probably be interested in purchasing next.

It's amazing how little can be said in 9 minutes. They didn't even mention HOW the powertrain is different from a standard blackwing. The only thing I got out of it was the stamped doors, flat black paint job, and a bunch of stickers.

Talked to the GM at my dealer today, and he told me Cadillac is not doing allocations the traditional way. Cadillac will decide themselves which customers get these cars. I'm guessing they go to VERY loyal customers, collectors, and celebrities.

Here's what I told him, "Whoever they pick better know the names of all 22 drivers on the grid!"

One thing I don't understand... if this is an F1 inspired car, why manual transmission??

Here is the text of the letter I got from my dealer today about this. I’m declining.



I wanted to personally reach out regarding a very special opportunity that just became available through Cadillac.

Cadillac is releasing an ultra-limited CT5-V Blackwing F1® Collector Series, created to celebrate their entry into Formula 1. This is not a typical production vehicle—only 24 units are being allocated for the entire U.S., making it one of the rarest Cadillacs ever produced.

Because of the exclusivity, these vehicles are not available through a traditional order process. Instead, Cadillac is carefully reviewing a select group of clients through a VIP consideration process. Expressing interest places you into that candidate pool, but final selections will be made directly by Cadillac.

If you’d like to be considered, Cadillac is requesting a brief client profile—essentially your connection to performance vehicles, your experience with Cadillac, and what makes this particular Collector Series meaningful to you. I would be happy to guide you through that and personally submit everything on your behalf.

For context, this vehicle is expected to fall into the upper-$200K range, and selected clients will move forward through a formal allocation and agreement process.

If this is something that interests you, let me know and I’ll make sure Cadillac has a complete and compelling picture of you as a client.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Just learned the F1 edition price is $260,000. Sheesh, that is ridiculous
