Next Gen ICE CT5 Officially Confirmed!!!!

[sgray944t]

I think a Blackwing is a given…the manual is the question and if the Camaro is coming back only as 4 doors and the other platform sharer is a Buick…I’m not so sure.

Kinda makes that Omega symbol on the front of the 25-26s a little silly.

It was valid before the fuel standards were rolled back

I think the Chevy 4 door RWD. Should be an Impala SS or caprice or revive the Chevy SS especially since the impala and caprice were full size cars and the Chevy SS was med size. Actually that makes me think. Can the new alpha 2.0 platform be stretched to full size since the zeta and omega platform was killed off? If it can then those names should be more appropriate than a 4 door Camaro. But also they can bring back the CT6 and its variants. I definitely do not want a hybrid or more computerized version of the caddy’s. The new digital dash of the current Vs annoy me. That’s something that will break and need to be replaced. I think the next ones should be a NA V8 or very powerful TT v6. Then do the supercharge or TT v8. Cadillac definitely should have atleast one engine of its own like the CT6. I am very glad Cadillac has made their cars cool again. Especially since BMW and Mercedes current lineup looks hideous. Don’t follow them!!!!

Anyone know what the powerplant is going to look like?

GM has a new NA 6.7L v8 (known as the LS6) already confirmed for the Corvette that makes 535 HP. I imagine we'll see this in the Camaro (or Camaro variants).

As far as a next gen Blackwing, I honestly would not be surprised if they stick with the LT4. Given that Corvette has gone in a completely separate direction, I just don't see how they are going to get the volume for a new FI variant of the LS6 to justify the development cost unless they think they can keep the engine around for 15 years like they have with the LT4.

are the emissions better with the new 6.7? if so im thinking theyll go that route and supercharge it. This engine is going to go in all of the new trucks do i dont think they are going to be going backwards in the emmisions department. I feel it makes sense they just improve on it and then add it to all their performance vehicles with a blower / turbo.

Another option for the next Blackwing could be using the Escalade-V supercharger, the larger 2.65L Eaton. They could probably push it to ~700 hp pretty easily. Keep the manual, and that’s a winning combo again. Of course, keeping the weight in check would be key.

With the latest administration, emissions seems to be much less of a factor given the crazy reverse course every US centric manufacture is taking right now.

It's about the development cost - it will be much cheaper to improve upon the LT4 and certify it then it would be to take a brand new engine and FI it for the first time, all to be sold on what is a very low volume production car. Given that the Corvette has its own stable of FI engines, GM can no longer "double dip" like they were doing in the 2010's. If you recall, the LT4 was first introduced on the Corvette Z06, then the Camaro ZL1, then the CTS-V after that. The Corvette is a (comparably) much larger volume seller that they just don't have anymore with the flat plane crank + TT engines they now use.

I see what you mean, im not educated on the history. But i figured that they had to certify the new 6.7, so putting a blower and better internals wouldnt be a costly step too far. Im assuming the 6.7 can meet the same if not better standards then the 6.2. either way we shal see. if they dont improve the engine at all its still a monster

Listen to what Mark says over the next few minutes of this video -

It sounds like some sort of successor is coming but he is implying that it will be "linked to formula 1." F1 uses Hybrid v6's from what I recall. I don't know if they are developing a brand new power train for this car or maybe they will take the TTv8 (with hybrid ZR1X functionality?) from the Corvette and somehow shoe it in here.

My guess is this was recorded before the F1 package for the 5BW was announced and that's what he was alluding to.

Pretty certain he was alluding to the F1 Edition Blackwing as he gestured behind him saying it.

 

[ZincFinger]

Hear me out…. Look at the other F1 manufacturers and what they’ve released. Mercedes has the AMG ONE, Ferrari the F80, McLaren’s W1…. Could Cadillac follow that path with something that incorporates F1 tech in a halo model that doesn’t cost 5M?

 

[jbawden]

I mean, they came out with the most ridiculous EV in the Celestiq (MSRP, aesthetics, and power train inefficiency to name a few) so a proper F1 halo seems plausible. Assuming it's based on the C8 platform, are we then teetering on XLR 2.0? Then the whole nonsense corporate culture where team orders dictate that Corvette needs to be the fastest might be a thing.

I’m repeating myself here but, I want a coupe Blackwing.
