2022 CT5-V Blackwing vs. Mercedes-AMG GT 43
Overview
The performance car segment is filled with exciting options, making it challenging to find the right one for you. Perhaps you're considering the 2022 CT5-V Blackwing or the Mercedes-AMG GT 43. Compare them closely, and you'll see that the CT5-V Blackwing is the better choice.
Power and Performance
With the GT 43, you can take advantage of a 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that puts out 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. While that seems like plenty of power, consider that the Blackwing's 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine generates 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque. The Blackwing can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with that much power. It takes the GT 43 4.8 seconds to go from zero to 60. Cadillac pairs the Blackwing's engine with your choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic. The GT 43 comes standard with a nine-speed automatic that doesn't operate as smoothly as the Blackwing's 10-speed system.
Interior
While the GT 43 only accommodates four people, the Blackwing can seat five with ample headroom and legroom for everyone. Luxurious leather seating surfaces come standard in the Blackwing, along with front-seat massage settings and a digital head-up display. If you want a GT 43 with these amenities, you'll have to pay extra.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety technology, the Blackwing comes standard with a lane-departure warning, a cross-traffic alert, and rear parking assistance. But, again, you'll pay extra to get these features in the GT 43. It's easy to see that the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing gives you much more than the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT 43. Test drive the Blackwing today.
