Cadillac’s CT5-V Blackwing already sits in a pretty special place in the performance sedan world, mostly because it still does the old-school stuff really well. You get that supercharged 6.2-liter V8 punch, a genuinely engaging chassis, and yes, the available 6-speed manual that feels like a love letter to the enthusiast crowd. Now, for 2026, a new limited-run appearance package is making the rounds, and it sounds like Cadillac is aiming straight at the buyers who want their Blackwing to look as exclusive as it drives.
The package is reportedly called the Deep Ocean package, and the headline is the price: $26,995. It is also said to be capped at just 200 cars, which is the kind of number that gets collectors and the “I want something no one else has” crowd paying attention. The centerpiece is a new paint color, Deep Ocean Tintcoat, paired with matching blue-themed touches that are meant to stand out without turning the car into rolling neon.
What do you actually get for nearly $27K? The word is that it bundles both Carbon Fiber packages plus the upscale leather interior, then adds extra details like black exterior bits, blue brake calipers, and Santorini Blue seatbelts. It is the sort of option that does not chase more horsepower because the Blackwing does not need help there, it chases presence. If you were already eyeing a heavily optioned CT5-V Blackwing, this is basically Cadillac handing you a factory-built, limited-edition shortcut to the fully dressed look.
Timing-wise, the Deep Ocean-spec cars are expected to start rolling out of Lansing Grand River in Michigan soon, which means these could become one of those blink-and-you-miss-it builds. With a base price that already starts in six figures, adding a package like this can push the sticker into some serious territory, but exclusivity has always been a currency of its own. If Cadillac keeps the cap tight at 200, you can bet these will be the ones people hunt for at Cars and Coffee (or Caffeine and Octane) a few years from now.
