The Last Manual V8 Sedan: Why I’m Obsessed with This 900HP Cadillac CT5V

Jay Leno sits down with Parker Nirenstein from Vehicle Virgins to witness a true "American BMW"—a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing pushed to a staggering 900 crank horsepower. From the factory, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a masterpiece, essentially a "four-seater Corvette" delivering 668 HP. But Parker wanted more. In this episode, Jay explores Parker’s personal daily driver, modified with a massive 2.6L Magnuson supercharger and racing headers to produce 750 HP at the wheels, which translates to nearly 900 at the crank.
