The 24 Hours of Le Mans kicks off this weekend and Cadillac will be back in action, looking to improve on last year’s third place finish. That’s no easy feat, but the company is celebrating the iconic race with two new special editions.
The first is the 2025 CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of the 1950 Cadillac “Petit Pataud.” It was a Le Mans race car based on a Series 61 Coupe, which featured a 5.4-liter V8 pumping out 160 hp (119 kW /162 PS).

The (production) special edition is far more powerful as it has a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 developing 472 hp (352 kW / 479 PS) and 445 lb-ft (603 Nm) of torque. It enables the model to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.1 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 189 mph (304 km/h).
The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre pays tribute to the 75th anniversary of the 1950 Cadillac “Le Monstre” as well as the 101st anniversary of the first Le Mans race. It sports a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 pumping out 668 hp (498 kW / 677 PS) and 659 lb-ft (892 Nm) of torque.
While the powertrains are different, both special editions have a unique Magnus Matte exterior with Stormhawk blue tinted carbon fiber components. They’re joined by gloss black mirror caps, black badging, and Royal Blue brake calipers. The Cadillacs also have a “heritage number graphic” on the doors.
The two-tone design continues in the cabin as customers will find a “Phantom Blue interior and Santorini accents in your choice of Sky Cool Gray or Jet Black.” Other highlights include a 3D printed manual transmission shifter medallion, laser-etched door sill plates, and heritage number stitching on the seats. We can also see a unique plaque and blue carbon fiber trim.
Both models are expected to be available early next year and production of the CT4-V Blackwing Petit Pataud will be limited to 50 units. The CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre won’t be as rare as the company plans to build 101.
