All Blackwing V8s were mated to a GM 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission, and all CT6s with the Blackwing motor equipped received Cadillac's all-wheel drive system.
The Platinum 4.2 Blackwing produced 500 horses, and the CT6-V received 50 more thanks to tweaks in the CT6-V's ECU.
Despite its cancelation, you can still order a Blackwing V8 long block off of Cadillac's parts website, so long as you have $14,587.26 to spend on it.
In total, about 1,200 CT6 4.2 Platinums and CT6-Vs were sold with the Blackwing V8 before the proverbial plug was pulled. Due to the aforementioned cost each LTA V8's production incurred, General Motors lost roughly $23 million on the entire Blackwing V8 program.
...and before Blackwing was a Cadillac, it was a pencil.
