2023 CT5-V Blackwing
Enjoyed the heck out my Argent 2023 5BW but traded it today for a 2026 in the Typhoon color. Upgraded to black and natural top tier seats and the Bronze wheels. Went with the Blue calipers which, while mine is not, I believe is the standard color if you order the precision package. Was concerned it was too much color (Green, Bronze and Blue ) but it's not. In fact it looks great , in my opinion anyway. I had a 25 on order since January this year, which never was built. Dealer rolled order into a 2026 and it went to event 3000 almost immediately. Scheduled for production on July 17th and arrived at the dealer by surprise on August 5th. I was shocked. Interesting fact ....the MSRP based on the exact same spec went DOWN (marginally) from the 25' to the 26'. I could not understand how. Turns out while the base price went up, the Parking Package and PDR are now standard where as they were extra cost options in 2025....another shock. Mine is a manual car number 90. Welcome any questions with the understanding that I am not on this site every day. Pic of the new car with my Argent (I'll miss it) behind attached

Congratulations, and man, I would have loved to have kept both black wings but I understand it's not financially always possible. Sucks being a car enthusiast sometimes because you can't have everything you want and you have to limit yourself.

That's a great choice and I can understand that you'll miss your previous Black Wing. Enjoying in good health.
 
Car looks great. Love Typhoon green. If you had spec’d the Parking Package and PDR on the 2025, then the price of the 2026 was a nice surprise.

Regarding the calipers and the Precision Package, the choice of a caliper color is free and also mandatory. So while non-PP can be had with grey calipers, PP will always have blue, red or bronze calipers. Blue ones have white logo and letters. All other colors have black logo and letters.
