Looks like the CT6-V will be one model year only.

what do you think of all that R&D for an engine that may see whats basically a half year production run?

CT5,4and 3 still coming......V variants of all 3 are in development, whether the V’s all make the cut is TBD.

Wouldn’t be the first engine Gm shelved. The black wing will find its way into something in the line up.

GM may add this engine to its stable of crate engines to recoup some costs. If the price is not outrageous I can see it being popular in many projects. The size and power would be great for a lot of projects.

Into an Escalade is not exciting for me
Cram it into a smaller suv and make it an srt competitor the maybe ?

I don’t know if it will be the next GNX but maybe the next GXP

I'm thinking it ends up in some sort of C8 but it's only a guess.

Perhaps it's destined to be the next GNX.

Doubtful since it can’t outrun the Corvette of the same model year.

GXP>GNX!!!!! @unavowed am I right?

Doubtful since they are sure to make more then 547 of them

Your values of inequality are skewed.

It may outrun a base vette of the same year which is all the GN's did, although I dont really think anyone would care these days its not uncommon for some of these higher end sedans to spank around sports cars.

Typical GM. Just when they make a platform/model good, they discontinue it.

The GNX was the QUICKEST GM vehicle that model year, big engine ‘vette or not.

The twist is now they are all crossovers. Cars are so 2018, its all about CUV's now.

The only car quicker (to 60) than the GNX in 1987 was the Porsche 959. They only made 337 959's over its several year run (1986–1988 & 1992–1993, only 50 for america). The GNX was a very special car.

"GM's 'Cadillac-exclusive' V8 will likely end up in next CTS-V, Escalade
Cadillac's 4.2-liter, twin-turbo V8 was originally slated for the CT6 V-Sport."

The problem I have with the Blackwing engine is that now it went from easy to work on engine up to European-complicated and labor intensive. To work on the heads now the turbos and all the plumbing need to come off as well as the front of the engine to access the DOHC cam chains to remove them just to pull the heads, and now the cams need to be removed also. Now to replace the head gaskets it'll cost $10,000 just like BMW's and Merc's, not $3,000-4,000 like it is on an LS engine. A lot of people say that GM's engines are behind the times with only running 2 valves per cylinder, but yet they put out just as much power or even more than the other "technologically" advanced engines. Yes, the turbo engine can be tweaked with a few computer mods of allowing more boost and adjusting the spark and fuel curve, but on the repair and parts modification end, an engine like this is a real pain to work on in the car. If this was such a good design why didn't Cadillac continue to upgrade the Northstar engine?

$3k-4K to do head gaskets in an LS?

My turbo DOHC Subaru was $1000 parts and labor to replace the head gaskets, ARP head studs and timing belt and water pump lol

The LS sounds expensive to work on! Haha
