Cadillac n'a «aucun plan supplémentaire» pour le Blackwing V8 et honnêtement, ça va

Kristen Lee Hier 11 h 55 • p Cadillac 46.9K 250 1 Photo: Cadillac Il y a eu un certain buzz (de notre part ainsi que de nos amis de Road & Track et The Drive) sur le fait que Cadillac n'a pas vraiment de plans actuels pour son Blackwing V8. C'est un gaspillage à coup sûr, mais à la suite d'une rumination, le Blackwing n'est pas exactement le meilleur moteur, en particulier pour Cadillac. Permettez-moi de préambuler ceci en disant que le Blackwing, qui se trouve dans la Cadillac CT6-V, est décidément cool. C’est le premier V8 exclusivement Cadillac que nous ayons vu depuis des décennies et conçu pour le luxe. Il s'agit d'un V8 biturbo de 4,2 litres qui produit une puissance de 550 chevaux et un couple de 640 lb-pi très respectables. Les turbocompresseurs sont montés dans la vallée entre les culasses afin de réduire le retard du turbo et la taille de l'emballage. (Apparemment, l'emballage serait ce qui empêcherait le Blackwing de Cadillac CT5-V, mais peu importe!) Dans des déclarations récentes, cependant, Cadillac a déclaré que le moteur est susceptible de mourir (pour l'instant) avec le CT6-V de courte durée. Un porte-parole nous a dit: «La Blackwing n'est disponible que sur les Cadillac CT6 Platinum et CT6-V. Nous n'avons pas de plans supplémentaires concernant ce moteur à annoncer pour le moment. » Le patron de Cadillac, Steve Carlisle, l'a confirmé à R&T: «[Nous n'avons] aucun plan spécifique pour ce moteur, mais ce n'est jamais long.» Ce n'est vraiment pas aussi tragique que vous le pensez. Oui, l'exclusivité de Blackwing à Cadillac est soignée, car la principale marque de luxe de General Motors a tendance à emprunter une grande partie de ses produits à d'autres voitures GM moins importantes. À la fin de la journée, Cadillac s'est toujours construit un moteur V8 unique à double turbocompresseur. Mais vous savez qui d'autre a cette configuration «unique»? BMW. Mercedes-AMG. Porsche / Audi / Volkswagen / Lamborghini / Bentley. Ferrari. McLaren. Koenigsegg. Maserati. Le Blackwing est cool, mais dans cette mer de tant d'autres V8 biturbo, ce n'est pas vraiment spécial. Pour les constructeurs automobiles de performance et de luxe, un V8 biturbo est la solution incontournable pour allier puissance, bruit, efficacité et émotion (gag). C’est un vieux truc maintenant. Ici, Cadillac est votre ami qui arrive un jour vers vous, ravi, car il a récemment découvert un nouveau moteur de recherche appelé Google. Il devient clair que le Blackwing est plus que légèrement défectueux. C'est formidable pour Cadillac d'avoir son propre moteur, mais le simple fait de copier ce que BMW et Mercedes ont fait pendant des années a longtemps été une stratégie perdante pour Cadillac. C’est la même histoire avec les berlines Cadillac, bien faites mais pas particulièrement désirables. Là où Cadillac brille, c'est quand elle rappelle son passé burbly et imposant. L'Escalade, par exemple. Le projet Blackwing a été une excellente occasion de fabriquer un nouveau moteur aussi géant, beuglant et intimidant qu'un moteur Cadillac devrait l'être. Au lieu de cela, nous avons obtenu un copieur allemand censé être petit mais pas assez petit pour tenir dans la bonne voiture de la série V. Donc, c'est bien que Blackwing n'a pas d'avenir prévisible. Surtout quand Cadillac (ou GM, plus précisément) avait déjà une alternative tonitruante, prête à l'emploi, sous la forme du LT4. Bonjour, doux prince. Photo: General Motors Le LT4 est le moteur Gen-V, petit bloc de GM. Il s'agit d'un V8 à poussoir de 6,2 litres qui est bon pour 650 ch et 650 lb-pi de couple, et que l'on retrouve dans les Cadillac CTS-V sortants, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 et Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Le LT4 est un peu décevant étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un moteur d'entreprise vu sur des marques aussi modestes que Chevrolet, mais il est brutal, compact et, surtout, différent. C'est suralimenté! Presque personne ne suralimente quoi que ce soit maintenant, à l'exception des constructeurs automobiles américains et, comme, Jaguar Land Rover. Toutes les muscle cars américaines les plus cool et les plus puissantes d'aujourd'hui sont suralimentées. Je ne peux pas trop me raccrocher à l'éphémère Blackwing lorsque Cadillac a déjà quelque chose de beaucoup plus merveilleux et inhabituel à utiliser, même si ce n'est pas exclusif à Cadillac. Si Cadillac a vraiment besoin d'un endroit pour mettre le Blackwing, remplissez-le dans l'Escalade 2021. Cette chose a un compartiment moteur qui pourrait cacher un épaulard.

2020 Cadillac CT5-V First Look: Injecting More Affordable Power

You can kill a sedan, or you can choose to play in the car game and up the ante with more performance. Introducing the 2020 Cadillac CT5-V with 355 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque under the hood courtesy of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine. And an even more powerful, track-capable CT5-V is still to come. Gentlemen, start your engines.

This is the high-octane version of the all-new 2020 CT5 sedan that was shown earlier this year, filling the vacancy where the ATS and CTS resided. The CT5 is shorter than the CTS but has a longer wheelbase and continues to use GM’s Alpha rear-drive architecture, though the new sedan rides on a next-generation version of the platform. The CT5-V makes its debut alongside the smaller but still punchy CT4-V.

The regular CT5 goes on sale this fall; the CT5-V will follow in early 2020, and after a short model year, the 2021 model will be introduced with Super Cruise, Cadillac’s hands-free highway driving technology. The CT5-V will take on the BMW 3 Series (including performance versions), the Audi S4, and Mercedes-AMG C 43.

The CT5-V comes standard in rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is available. The sedan still has a front multi-link strut and five-link rear suspension, but it has been enhanced, and on the CT5-V the latest version of Magnetic Ride Control (version 4.0) is standard.

To distribute power in the CT5-V, the V-6 comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. No manual transmission—at least for now, GM President Mark Reuss says with a smile.

That is, in part, because there is a higher-level, track-capable version of the CT5-V still to come. No details yet, but more will be shared soon, Reuss says. This will be a V-Series strategy going forward; an affordable V that is $6,000–$7,000 more than a Sport model, then a top-level V for those who want ultimate performance. The first two vehicles to adopt this strategy are the CT5-V and CT4-V. The CT6-V has only one level, but it is a doozy with the new 550-hp, 627-lb-ft Blackwing V-8 engine.

“Performance isn’t going to go out of style,” Reuss says. Once Cadillac made the decision to stay in sedans, it knew it couldn’t do it half way.

The regular CT5 base engine is the 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged I-4 that made its debut in the 2019 CT6 refresh, and it gives the sedan 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. An optional 335-hp, 400-lb-ft 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 is similar to the CT5-V’s engine but with smaller turbos. Both engines have active fuel management that shuts down cylinders when they aren’t needed. And each is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The outgoing CTS-V has a 640-hp, 630-lb-ft 6.2-liter supercharged V-8.

The CT5-V looks the part with a long hood and dash-to-axle proportions of a rear-drive sedan, wheels pushed to the corners, a lower beltline, and a fastback profile. It comes with unique 19-inch wheels with summer run-flat performance tires standard. The regular sedan has 18-, 19-, or 20-inch wheels with run-flat, self-sealing tires offered. No spoiler or ventilated hood, but who knows what the track version will have? There are Brembo front brakes, a performance traction management system with five drive modes, and launch control.

The CT5 is content as a sedan only; no coupe or wagon is planned at this time. It will be assembled at the Lansing Grand River plant.

Cadillac introduced the V-Series in 2004 with the CTS-V, and over the years the family has included V variants of the STS, XLR, ATS, and CT6.

Do you remember the Cadillac Escala? It was a concept that first debuted in 2016 at the Pebble Beach Concours and was said to preview future innovation and design direction. Well, soon that future will become a reality. Autoforecast Solutions reports, a car named the Cadillac Escala and based off the CT6 platform will go into production at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant in December of 2021. It’s not currently known if it will be a coupe or sedan, but since it will be built at Hamtramck, which also makes the CT6, Chevy Impala and Volt and Buick LaCrosse, the Escala will likely be a sedan, like the concept. ¿Recuerdas el Cadillac Escala? Era un concepto que debutó por primera vez en 2016 en Pebble Beach Concours y se dijo que era una vista previa de la innovación futura y la dirección del diseño. Bueno, pronto ese futuro se convertirá en realidad. Reportes de Autoforecast Solutions, un auto llamado Cadillac Escala y basado en la plataforma CT6 entrará en producción en la planta GM-Hamtramck de GM en diciembre de 2021. Actualmente no se sabe si será un coupé o sedán, pero ya que será construido en Hamtramck, que también fabrica el CT6, Chevy Impala y Volt y Buick LaCrosse, el Escala probablemente sea un sedán, como el concepto. #automaxtv #cadillac #gm #escala #ct6 #escalade #us #usa #2016 #2018 #2021 #pebblebeachconcours #pebblebeach #coupe #sedan #luxurycars #luxury #luxurylifestyle

Future Cars! 2020 and Beyond

Car buyers—you’re in for a treat. Because no matter your budget for a new car, the future is bright. The wait is almost over for Corvette fans waiting for a mid-engine layout, but with the Shelby GT500 and new M3 on the way, the Chevy will have some serious sports car company.

And maybe you’ve heard, but our automotive future is electrified. From Fiat to Audi, fully electric cars you might actually want to drive will be here soon (if a Model 3 and the other existing options aren’t your style).

So keep reading for more on future cars headed to a dealership near you.

Future SUVs! 2020 and Beyond

WHAT’S NOW

Chevrolet Corvette

What’s New: The long-awaited mid-engine Corvette is finally here. After years of rumors, spy shots, leaks, and speculation, Chevrolet will finally peel the camo off this July. When it does, we expect to find a dual-overhead-cam V-8 under the rear glass with a pair of turbochargers driving the rear wheels through a manual or dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Multiple power outputs are expected courtesy of various displacements, with both 4.2-liter and 5.5-liter versions to be fitted. An all-new electrical architecture will feature top-of-the-line sensors and computers for performance and handling enhancement, but you’ll no doubt be able to turn them all off, too. Inside, Chevrolet has gone upscale with a classy, driver-focused interior featuring premium materials and a digital instrument cluster. Although base-model Corvettes will start at about $70,000, higher-performance models will quickly shoot up in price to cover both the development cost and the improvements in technology, performance, and comfort. But they should still remain relatively attainable.

What’s Not: Base cars are expected to employ Chevrolet’s tried-and-true 6.2-liter pushrod V-8. Midrange cars might also employ the supercharged pushrod engine. We predict Chevrolet will continue to offer a removable targa roof that will store in the cargo area.

When: July 18, 2019

How Much: $70,000-$140,000 (est)

Porsche Taycan

What’s New: Everything. For some time now, the highly anticipated first all-electric Porsche sedan has been caught testing, piling up about 1.2 million miles in the process. It’s looking less futuristic than its Mission E concept, but we know an 800-volt system sends power to two electric motors generating a combined 440 kW (590 hp), and that power is sent to all four wheels. Said to be quicker than 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and with more than 300 miles range, the Taycan will be available at the end of this year. Buyers will receive three years of free charging at the 484 Electrify America public stations across the country. Using DC fast charging, up 60 miles of range can be had in just four minutes or roughly 250 miles in about 15 minutes. Some reports indicate the automaker wants to introduce higher-performance variants and a Targa. We can’t wait.

What’s Not: Even EV skeptic (and longtime Porsche test driver/brand ambassador) Walter Röhrl was impressed: “It’s crazy. In all my years of rallying, I’ve never experienced such performance. The Taycan goes so well at such speed, really tremendous. If I had to drive it blindfolded, I would still know immediately that I was sitting in a Porsche.”

When: Late 2019

How Much: $85,000 (est)

BMW M3

What’s New: The 2021 M3 will carry the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine as the X3M and X4M crossovers, meaning 473 hp and 442 lb-ft of output (or thereabouts, due to slightly different tuning for a sedan and crossover). That should result in 0–60 acceleration around 3.7 seconds. (Note: The current model tops out at 444 hp on the CS version.) A year or so down the line, the M3 Competition will provide in the neighborhood of 500-plus hp. The new G20 platform rides with 1.6 inches more wheelbase and has a wider track, which might prioritize corner-on-rails stability over quick-twitch handling. The M3 should allow for both RWD and AWD applications. (AWD might be defeatable to RWD if desired, as on the M5.) There is rumor of a “Pure” stripped-down base model with a stick shift (yay!) but slightly less power (sigh).

What’s Not: Some switches, controls, and knobs. It’s a new platform with upgraded engines, even a new infotainment interface.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $68,000 (est)

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

What’s New: The Shelby GT500 returns for the first time on the sixth-gen Mustang. Using a new engine and some aero enhancements, Ford promises this Mustang can hit 180 mph and that it won’t overheat at the track. This Shelby ought to be easier to lap, too, as it comes standard with a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic. There are no plans for a manual in 2020.

What’s Not: Although it shares its displacement with the GT350’s flat-plane-crank V-8, the Shelby GT500’s 5.2-liter V-8 is a cross-plane design. Between that and the supercharger, Ford claims power and torque have increased from 526 hp and 429 lb-ft in the GT350 to more than 700 hp and 600 lb-ft in the GT500.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Cadillac CT5

What’s New: The CT5 is a new nameplate for Cadillac. This compact sedan replaces the ATS and CTS and is an evolution of Cadillac’s design language. The standard engine is the new 237-hp, 258-lb-ft 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged I-4 that made its first appearance in the CT6 refresh. A modified 335-hp, 400 lb-ft 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 (smaller turbos) is available and debuts in the CT5. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. New rear badging will denote a rounded-off torque figure in Newton-meters. Super Cruise will be added in the second model year. A CT5-V is expected in the future.

What’s Not: It rides on GM’s rear-wheel-drive Alpha platform with some enhancements to the carryover front multilink strut and rear five-link suspension. All-wheel drive will be available on all trim levels.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $48,000

Volkswagen Golf

What’s New: Volkswagen’s popular hatchback enters its eighth generation and will reportedly grow slightly in size with a few design tweaks. The sporty GTI will allegedly feature a mild hybrid powertrain featuring a 48-volt electrical system that will power the turbocharger to improve low-end boost before the exhaust pressure builds. It’s not yet clear whether the standard non-GTI Golf will return to the U.S. market.

What’s Not: The new Golf will still ride on VW’s MQB platform, though rumors suggest it’s been revised to cut weight.

When: Early 2020

How Much: $23,000 (est)

Maserati Alfieri

What’s New: The Alfieri has been designed from the ground up to be Maserati’s new halo car. It’s available as either a coupe or convertible with three levels of electrification. The EV version featuring three-motor, four-wheel drive and a quick-charging 800-volt battery will top the lineup.

What’s Not: Both the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Alfieri will use a Ferrari-sourced engine. If that engine is a V-8, it will probably be a version of the 3.8-liter twin-turbo currently found in the Levante GTS.

When: 2020

How Much: $150,000 (est)

Porsche 718 Boxster T/718 Cayman T

What’s New: Following the widely praised “T” prescription that was given to 911 Carrera brethren, the 718 twins will similarly enjoy reduced weight, lowered and further-honed suspension, the Sport Chrono package, and Porsche Torque Vectoring. A six-speed manual is standard; a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic is optional. The 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four 718 T (likely 300 hp, 280 lb-ft) will slot into the lineup between S and GTS versions in terms of price but surely will be the pointiest 718 available.

What’s Not: Engine output for the States has not yet been finalized, but as in the base car, it’s a 2.0-liter turbo for certain. The Cayman T coupe and Boxster T roadster body lines remain the same; only subtle interior and exterior distinctions are visible.

When: 2020

How Much: $70,000 (est)

Subaru Legacy

What’s New: The Legacy moves over to Subaru’s new Global Platform, which the automaker says is safer, handles better , and maximizes interior volume. An optional 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four is now available, and the redesigned interior can be had with a large 11.6-inch touchscreen oriented vertically on the dashboard. The EyeSight package of driver assistance technology is now standard, and other driver assist features are available.

What’s Not: A 2.5-liter flat-four engine still serves as the base powertrain, but has been updated with 90 percent new parts and direct injection for the 2020 Legacy.

When: Fall 2019

How Much: $24,000 (est)

Hyundai Elantra

What’s New: After a refresh for 2019, the compact Elantra is back with more updates for 2020. The Elantra will feature a new CVT. Like its cousin, the 2019 Kia Forte, it’s likely to grow in size compared to its predecessor. Expect gains in fuel economy, with the base 2.0-liter engine hitting 41 mpg on the highway.

What’s Not: Although power figures haven’t been released, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has been confirmed once again. It’s likely the model will also continue with 1.4- and 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines.

When: Late 2019

How Much: $18,500 (est)

WHAT’S NEXT

Aston Martin Vanquish

What’s New: It’s Aston’s take on a Ferrari mid-engine supercar, specifically at the new F8 Tributo revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March. If it looks anything like the concept and revives the Vanquish name, we’ll be extremely happy. The Vanquish could pack the new V-6 hybrid turbo behind the seats, possibly making north of 700 hp to compete directly with the Tributo. We’ve heard the new model is being developed with the help of Red Bull Racing engineers, so expect the car to have a lot of F1 bits and pieces.

What’s Not: Its name. The name Vanquish has come and gone a couple of times—it was first used from 2001 to 2007 and then again from 2012 to 2018. Aston built a few special editions, but this new supercar will be completely different from anything we’ve seen with the Vanquish badge.

When: 2020

How Much: $350,000 (est)

Alfa Romeo GTV

What’s New: As Alfa’s practical coupe, the GTV will have four seats and a trunk, but that’s where the practicality ends. The front-engine, rear-drive 2+2 is expected to be offered only with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive will be optional. The high-performance Quadrifoglio model will add an electric motor between the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 and the transmission to boost output to more than 600 hp.

What’s Not: At its core, the GTV is a Giulia coupe. Expect the same turbocharged four-cylinder base engine.

When: 2021

How Much: $45,000 (est)

Audi E-Tron GT

What’s New: Audi’s sexy E-Tron GT sedan will follow the more practical E-Tron SUV to market just a year later but with substantial differences. Electric motors front and rear combine for 590 hp, fed by a 95-kW-hr battery pack with an 800-volt charging system capable of nearly filling the battery in 20 minutes. Range is expected to be similar to the E-Tron SUV’s 204 EPA-estimated miles—but less if you test the estimated 0–60 time of under 3.5 seconds or explore the 149-mph top speed.

What’s Not: Squint a bit, and you can tell it’s a nicely rebodied Porsche Taycan.

When: 2020

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Fiat Centoventi

What’s New: The entire fully modular cheap-EV concept. An underfloor battery rack can carry up to four individual 60-mile battery packs, which can be rented when needed. A fifth optional pack slides out from under the driver’s seat for convenient indoor charging. Body panels are molded in a single color with wraps providing other colors. Further personalization is provided by five choices each of roof styles and colors, bumpers, and wheels.

What’s Not: Fiat’s lifelong mission to bring mobility to the masses, which here drives further innovations like 3-D-printable accessories that mount to a mesh grid of holes in the dash.

When: 2022

How Much: $25,000 (est)

Acura RLX

What’s New: Is bolder better? Acura has tried to answer that question over the years, with mixed results. Love it or hate it, the new RDX benefits from engaging styling borrowed from the Precision concept—and that bold crossover is setting sales records for the brand. That momentum could continue with the RLX’s replacement, a car that may adopt the Precision’s fastback shape (hello, Audi A7). With very little brand equity in the RL or RLX name, the time could be right for a (slightly) bolder flagship four-door from Acura.

What’s Not: Future Acura cabins will be influenced by the Precision Interior concept, like the RDX with its optimally placed infotainment screen and controversial touchpad controller.

When: 2021

How Much: $57,000 (est)

Karma Pininfarina GT Concept

What’s New: The Pininfarina-designed Karma concept car made its debut at the 2019 Shanghai auto show and previews the California-based automaker’s upcoming lineup. Its design language will be a departure from the Revero, but most of the fundamental engineering is unchanged. If public response goes well, the Pininfarina GT could go from one-off concept to production model.

What’s Not: Karma recently announced a partnership with BMW and will license the German automaker’s turbocharged three-cylinder engine for use as a generator in plug-in hybrid vehicles, including the next-generation Revero.

When: 2020

How Much: $100,000 (est)
