- Gale Banks unboxes his new 2019 Cadillac CT6-V Blackwing V8, one of only 725 made! It's an all-aluminum, double overhead cam, twin-turbo, twin-intercooled, twin-wastegated, 500 hp, all-wheel drive, all-wheel steer muscle car.
The engine was branded as the "Blackwing V8" by GM technicians and is the first Cadillac-exclusive dual overhead cam V8 engine since the Northstar V8 was dropped in 2011.
The aluminum cylinder block features pressed-in iron liners, cross-bolted main bearing caps and houses a lightweight rotating assembly composed of a forged steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods and high strength hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Its firing order is 1-5-4-3-6-8-7-2.
The aluminum cylinder heads house dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder; exhaust valves are sodium-filled.
The turbochargers are mounted between the cylinder banks in a so-called hot-V configuration and their twin-scroll design broadens their performance capability, offering a quicker response and greater efficiency. The turbochargers produce up to 20 psi (1.4 bar) and are matched with electronic wastegate control for more precise boost management and more responsive torque production. 90 percent of the engine's peak torque is available at 2000 rpm and carried through 5200 rpm.

Gale Banks has to be one of the coolest old guys to ever live!
HE WAS ALWAYS COOL AGE DIDNT CHANGE THAT FACT JACK . I AGREE HE IS A COOL OLDER DUDE INDEED
i sooooo agree with you. this guy knows his stuff, not only on caddy but on engines and turbos
He wasn’t always old
Gorgeous car! The CT6 is one of the nicest looking Cadillacs in recent memory. Unfortunately, just as GM has done soooo many times before, they get the recipe just perfect, and the whole thing is cancelled.
Exactly, so what the hell's wrong with them !?!???.
thank heavens on their new trucks they went back to a round fender for the round wheel instead of a square fender with a round wheel !!!!
I mean come on seriously GM who in the hell create sand designs a square opening for round object. And trying to put a larger tire on their trucks.... ugly.
And then you're cutting into fender Wells. They leave no room for growth and imagination to be able to make the vehicle your own.
yep I'm a GM guy but holy crap when are they going to get somebody in the driver seat who can think out of the box and think for themselves and quit making the beds and other parts that look like someone else's design ...like either it's part Ford or part Dodge ....the box on the new Chevy trucks looks like it came from last year's Ford recycling bin.
Yeah Gale was smart to jump in on this one.... Cuz GMO find a way to screw it up.
You know the sad part is it's like watching a movie that's really really good, it does well at the box office, so then they make several sequels and milk it for all it's worth . But all the rest suck in comparison to the first.
@@trakyboy5128 The CT6 was awesome, but a half step. it was a tweener between the 5 series/E-class, and the 7 series/S-class. There will be another flagship that is larger, and more prestigious.
Chevy uses the round fender & GMC is still the square shape.
I like Buick sedans to keep it on the down low... This CTS is nice too !
I have a 2008 lacrosse 3800 V-6 it's perfect; for a sedan.
PUNKem733 I don’t think there will be another big car. Americans seem like they are scared to make big luxury yachts the size of a 7 series.
not canceled, that was a miscommunication on GM's part. only a limited production of them per year.
Hearing gale banks say "im gonna murder this thing out" 😊😂
Haha Soo true 😅
A true AMERICAN dream car 🇺🇲
Damn he broke the motor down in a cool way. I just fell in love with this car all over again.
What a legend! Thank you for properly introducing the science of this engine and appreciation as it should. Great knowledge!!!! This is review a vehicle at its finest. Thank you Mr. Banks
I want to see Gale work his magic on this caddy!!
So I guess your new series is gonna be called "How to wrinkle ashphalt " have fun Gale!!
65bug519 more like wrinkle a driveshaft!
While most people fade out as they get older. Gale Banks just shines brighter!
Oh man. This car is engineered so well.
I wish some other channels could get a hold of this, like fasterproms.
Well, itd be a collector Frankenstein.
Fasterproms would make the car a lot healthier with some port and polish and some other goodies
I wouldn't change a thing. On the Blackening 🚗Ok with a sunroof- delete PKG though.
Yes sir. Thanks for the mention. We had an ATSV TT 3.6L and held the fastest et for about 2years with a manual. We have a video on our channel search Fasterproms ATSV
@@Fasterproms1 i watch your channel and what you do is amazing love the content
Caddilac should reconsider its limited production of such a HALO car! I myself would gravitate to this rather than the German counter part!
Watch the darn video they are closing the plant where it’s made.
Johan de Nysschen This car will for sure go down in history. It's defiantly the last of its Cadillac kind. I appreciate the hard work and great engineering that sadly will not be seen or enjoyed by many, but it'll be enjoyed by Gale Banks and hopefully shared with us!
Can't afford it, but I want one! Glad to see Caddy "bringing" it😀
Love this video, especially your enthusiasm for the CT6-V, very genuine! I bought one myself, love it. I wanted to tell you about the brake pads, pretty dirty and noisy sometimes. I contacted a company in CA, Porterfield Racing and after working with them they've made replacement front & rear pads. Many of us from the Cadillac Forum has swapped over, they're very good and reasonable and since they only ended up making 996 '19 & '20 V Models and no one else makes pads. They're made of Kevlar & Ceramic and they outperform the Brembo (Ferodo) Pads with no dust.
Mr Banks just got my own CT6V because of you.Thx for this video. Now would love to see your upgrades on your car.
Mr Banks was that excited, he was nearly lost for words. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy.
Gale Banks it is so fun to hear you talk about something you have so much passion and insight on all these vehicles you do your ideas are brilliant..... And Cadillac is my brand! Can't wait to see what you create out of this car!
all-aluminum, double overhead cam, twin-turbo, twin-intercooled, Thought the power would be a fair bit more. new stuff may be better, but man what a pain in the back end that would be to work on, and yes, eventually everything needs to be worked on at some point.
You can probably get quite a bit more power out of it without much mods
well its still a cadillac, not a ZR1, its rated at 550hp/640 tq in the CT6V, plenty to get that big girl up and rolling and im sure simple engine tuning could unlock another 100-150 horsepower. It sounds like the C8 corvette is getting a similar engine based on this but will be pushing up in the 700-800 hp area.
Can’t wait to have mine delivered! Been paying for it for two months and it’s still not at the dealership!
Lucky😒🤘
rANDOMdUDe If you work hard for it man, there are better things down the line. When they announced this back in 2018, there was no way in hell I could get one. Keep working at it.
I’m hoping they can continue the Blackwing down the line in the CT5 and CT4 lines. This engine shouldn’t die with this car and help it be available in cheaper modes.
@@UniverseIndistries have a platinum v6 TT and absolutely love it! You are so lucky to get a blackwing
Scott Walper Thanks! Just got it yesterday and gave a 0-60. Then had to put away as the snow fell hard today. Probably won’t get it back out for another week.
@@UniverseIndistries If you could try out the AWD system and update us if you don't mind I know the salt on the roads is something to worry about though.
You sir are pasionate about cars...the ending was what i did a few times with my cars,you have my highest respect
Sir, you've got yourself a sub!!! Congrats to your awesome Cadillac!!! The kiss at the end pretty much says everything about you as a car guy! I had goosebumps all over ..... Looking forward to more vids of this beauty!
Man! I've been watching Gail for years. I remember when he started with after market turbos for diesels and those things would haul ass! Hell! This was before internet, you know when we used to buy magazines, Hot Rod, Car Craft, ect..ect
With only 725 made,if I had the money, I'd buy 2. 1 for play and 1 for show. Awesome car.
This is literally the only modern GM vehicle I would even consider buying. Good video. Thanks.
C8 Corvette?
@@normt5463Na no coupes , unless its the ancient beasts from the 60s & 70s. No offense or judgment to anyone that does like them, just not my style. I have old man taste in cars so Im a land yacht lover for the most part lol Though I will say the Vette is sexy eye candy. I love the way they've sculpted the rear end in recent years.
I had to watch it again just to hear him say he's "gonna murder this thing out" one more time! 😂 I hope we get some future updates on this truly awesome car! Congrats on this purchase sir!
He is one of the coolest dudes ever!
I never been this jealous in my life! The blackwing an the marauder both favorites of mine.. Enjoy
The most exciting guy to follow in the auto industry bar none!
In the 40s 50s 60s 70s and 80s everyone looked up to Cadillac; Bentley, Rolls Royce, Mercedes Benz. BMW and Audi weren't even in the game. This CT6 is what America needs. If you want a American luxury car for 200k where do people go? Cadillac needs to make a coupe CT6 and go up against the world, and get the business executive coupe and sedan throne back. STOP making stuff that goes up against a damn BMW 3 series. Your not going to be the king if you take ALL the 3 series market. You will be king if you take half of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and S class market. I hope that the new electric CT6 platform based car goes after the Tesla model s market share with Benz S class quality, and Porsche Taycan price tag and steels the show by being a good deal for the money.
Only the ATS goes up against the 3 series. You do realize Cadillac has way more models than that right? Including the CTS-V, CT4, CT5, and SUVs.
ATS was a mistake. Do you think it's a good idea to make a 35k Rolls-Royce or Bentley. Why did Cadillac think it was a good idea. The name Cadillac carries an image and the image should not be of 'ohhhh is only 40k that's cheap. It should of top of the line luxury starting where the the most expensive Buick ends, going head to head within the elite executive group.
And why go after Tesla?? They are slowly dying. Lol
They are only being propped up by other peoples money. Lol
They have never made a profit since they have been in business.
@@punitm85 Like I said the ATS goes up against the 3 series, its literally what it was designed for. Cadillac has other models that compete against higher end models of executive brands. The more variety of models they have the better.
Jesus, that is the most handsome car ever!
What a true car guy, seems like the guys you could talk car to for awhile
The CT6 and C8 are the only two cars that made the fans happy.. it's been a hard minute to be a GM fan.
So Gale. You going to tune that Caddy -. So I can learn and get mine tuned as well?
Makes me happy to see Mr Banks so happy!
Man I wish I was gale bestfriend an I to wish johan was still there I think he was turning Cadillac into world class cars
Theres a reason he's not at Infiniti anymore either. Theyre still paying for his mistakes.
Really cool caddy. I'm a 2018 zl1 owner and I think it's awesome gm is stepping up its power game with the Cadillac. Gm all day
This car is the best looking Cadillac on sale today. I wish I could afford one. I would buy it in a heartbeat. It's a shame so few will be made
Gale finally embraces the old guy stereotype and buys a Cadillac.. with a twist lol
Gorgeous car. I wanted one but they were all sold out. Enjoy that perfect Muscle car.
Ricardo Williams there’s one here in Austin at Covert Cadillac, I know a salesman if you still interested
Mr Gail Banks and a Twin turbo awd V8 caddy. That thing should become a Legend just like its owner. Ive been a fan since I was a young kid. Thank you air for showing us a beautiful and american made beast.
Wow.... so impressive on every level.
Awesome CT6-V. This should’ve been the engine they launched the CT6 with.
I love your knowledge of cars.beauttiful caddy
What can I say about the man Gale Banks that hasn't been said already? I love his unbiased opinion of the big three automakers when they bring a great car to Market. Too many people want to bash The Big Three and not give kudos to the great cars that they do produce. Gale Banks is a wonderful insightful mechanical mind man that I love to hear from on his channel. His enthusiasm is infectious and his detail mind of the Motorsports is refreshing. Keep up the great work with your company and this TH-cam channel Mr. Banks.
I love this Cadillac! its a beast on the road!
I owned a 1990 Mazda MX6GT with all-wheel steering. Nissan offered it in their Z cars as well. It worked opposite the front wheels at slow speed and transitioned to turn with the front wheels after about 30 mph or so. It gave the Mazda cat-like reflexes. I loved it. Glad to see its return.
Chassis dyno!!!! I want to see what it does! Come on Gale, throw us a bone!
Nice ride. Do a video with it at the track next. We want to see that thing corner!
Honda did the 4 wheel steering on the prelude back in the 80’s .
3000gt and stealth also had it
Follow your passion kids and one day you too can be as cool as Gale Banks
Mr Banks, you are one freaking awesome man and I love your CT6 V!
Merry Christmas Mr. Banks. (-:
Gale Banks is an American Treasure. Legit dude
That's one hell of a bad ass Caddy.
GM: Here we made the CT6. A truly great alternative to the German super saloons.
car community: WOW! Looks beautiful!! SO lightweight! Great muscle car!!!!
GM: Yea we're not gonna make it anymore
Ct6 is ok but Cadillac needs to make the Escala
i didnt even know this was coming. i thought it was just available in the ct6, didnt know they were making a v version of it. its like a modern gnx
I have the V6 twin turbo 404 HP. It looks sleek and clean and can Getty up.
That’s a cool Caddy! I wouldn’t change a thing.
i can't wait to have one. big love from saudi arabia 🇸🇦.
Hopefully the Cadillac engineers’ learned from their Northstar mistakes. Can’t wait to see the Bank’s modifications.
Can't put the starter motor under the intake manifold in a hot V ;)
They did, they made the LC3 which had none of the previous N* flaws. Problem was the car was killed off after that so there's little to none in aftermarket support. Going to be even less with this but a tune will easily add another 100hp 150lb to it so it's not a total loss.
@@quick455 I've got an XLR-V, and I can attest that the LC3 Northstar is great. Plenty of guys putting down 500+whp.
@@quick455 LH2 is good as well. I have two.
Is a shame they dropped the ball on it. On paper it is a giant killer.
I have a feeling this is going to be an underrated classic in the future.
Beautiful car!! I’m getting my 2019 ct6 30.tt sport this week! Can’t wait 😜
Fantastic video and a beautiful car! The CT6 is my dream car, I’d love to have the 2020 in platinum trim because it comes with the Blackwing (with a little less power) and it has all the luxury features I want. But I’d love to see a video from the future of you driving this thing on the road and the track! I’ve been wanting to hear that engine roar. Thank you again for the great video!
What an animal of a daily driver! Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing it with us. It has all the things we all want!!
Absolutely Awesome Mr. Banks! I hope to be able to ride in one some day. I am still in Shock Cadillac is discontinuing this car! I am about to purchase a 2018 CTS-V. I currently own a 2009 Pontiac G8.
My 2006 Infinity M45 Had (RAS) “Rear Active Steering” Definitely Not New Tech. Great Feature.
Nobody said it is a new tech
@@francoisd6942 Right? Early 90's Preludes and 3000GT's had 4 wheel steering. Some Denali pickups too. It's a neat feature nonetheless.
Mr Banks I can not think of any one more deserving to own this piece of history than you. Both You and Your new Baby are first class in my books. Also hats off too all involved at GM.
That front end is absolutely beautiful.
We need an update video on this beautiful machine!!!!
Bought one for my wife, she loves to drive her little monster. Good review...
It's nice. Understatement of the year
Happy you got a cool new toy, Gale. You've certainly earned it.
Jay Leno, Tim Allen and Gale Banks need to do a collaboration and maybe a race!!
I would love that Marauder!
I drove a few when they were being developed a couple years ago. Nice car.
500 twin turbo? Man this car has so much potential to be uncovered with just a tune
550 hp 623 torq
Alabama T.E. #88 The 500hp is the standard V sport the (V) has 550hp
I wish Gale was still 30 again. It's so incredible that he comes from such a different era but still embraces change and innovation, he's so smart... Ah I guess that explains the he's so successful lol
If ever anyone invented a way to get young again I'd donate real money towards paying for Gale to have it done.
The methodical data based approach he has to designing modifications is unsurpassed, and he needs to be around until the last litre of petrol is squeezed from the last few drops of crude.
I found one , new in Georgia, I’ve had it since august , Geez what a pure hot rod beast. All four wheels will squirm and spin if you want . But it has a true luxury ride and all the coolest features . Mr. Banks in his video here says he’s going to murder it out, I called him to see if he could give me some ideas of how he’s going to murder his out because I may want to do that myself. I have yet to receive any response as maybe he couldn’t really do anything to it to improve it I don’t know. But I do know I had to put new tires on it after just 3500 miles. Yes I scorched the good years that came with it and that was got Michelin‘s so we’ll see how they hold up. I wish that Mr. Banks would give me some advice on wheels tires and even a little bit of rear suspension tuning as I see it’s a bit tail heavy. But not bad for a full-size luxury car in fact it is just amazing.
Love performance Cadillac.
Chris Harris needs to Review this beast... Im a Mercedes guy... but im excited.
Welcome to the OHC club, GM!
They've been making ohc engines since the 30s
That marauder is badass and I can just imagine Gale cruisin to work in it!
I can only wish to be like this man.
Man soon as you smiles and Saud got to love that I subscribed I know this video is old but your presentation got me brother. My 2018 CTSV IS A BLAST I'll get out and test one of these soon
You are living the life sir! Thank you for sharing your new sweet ride with us. 👍
That license plate on Gale's Ford GT is one of the best I have seen.
This car grips like a mother " " what !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He would have said fucker but his video wouldn’t have been monetized
Send me one to Finland so I can rip it in the snow!
Plain and simple: I want one.
I do too....bad
This is my Dream daily.
I wish this car was available in Australia 🇦🇺
As a lifelong Ford fan and committed despiser of Holden, I'd still buy one of these even if it was rebadged as a commodore.
Yep they would just have to do something with that from end but it really does come with a good package. What a beast.
Unfortunately today I read that they have canceled the CT6 so it’s done and dusted now.
@@Rollin8.0 Should of been the new HSV Senator.
@@Neojhun I agree with that.
Saw it first from Banks before Leno gets his hands on one!
And Cadillac announced today that CT-6 production is stopping in January of 2020. Amazing. Their best car, by far.
I can not wait till you tune this majestic stallion.!!!! Murdered out. Omg!!!!!!!
I love the ct6 v. I wished they offered the 4 wheel steering for their other models.
Your knowledge and passion for this beautiful car is infectious! Thanks for sharing, Mr. Banks. What a shame GM no longer has Johan de Nysschen or this car/powertrain.
Congratulations mr. Gale Banks on your car that car looks very sharp can't wait to what kind of performance mods you're going to make for this car
More important that the 550hp is the 640lbstrq this engine puts out. It's too bad it's going to be such a limited production because being turbo you're going to be able to add a heap of power to it in only a tune. Unfortunately with such a limited run it'll most likely be locked to cold air, exhaust, and a tune with no aftermarket support as a result.
Seems similar in design to the AMG GT series engine. Very impressive vehicle. Lots of engineering packed in...
