The F90 generation BMW M5 is officially dead, with the automaker removing it from the configuration in our market a few months back. Nevertheless, it will return shortly with the all-new generation that is about to break cover, and the super wagon version will join it.
Officially dubbed the BMW M5 Touring, it will face the usual competition from Audi Sport and Mercedes-AMG in the form of the RS 6 Avant and E 63 Estate, respectively. But what if Cadillac was to launch a rival to the likes of these models?
With this question in mind, jlord8 set out to imagine what such a ride might look like. The rendering shared in the gallery above made its way to social media over the weekend, and it obviously builds on the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, the brand's executive super sedan that was digitally turned into a station wagon for internet points.
You do know what's different, don't you? That would be the elongated roof, for one, ending above the tailgate that opens up into a very generous cargo area. The rendering artist gave it larger rear fenders, bigger three-quarter windows, and a few other bits and bobs that make it stand out next to its four-door counterpart. And we've got to admit that it is a very interesting proposal in the business segment.
The family-friendly hauler would be capable of taking a swing at real supercars courtesy of its ultra-punchy engine, which would be identical to the one powering the real CT5-V Blackwing. If you forgot what lies under the hood of the super sedan, that would be a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The mill is good for 668 hp (678 ps/498 kW) and churns out 659 pound-feet (893 Nm) of torque.
Customers can choose between a manual or an automatic transmission with six and ten gears, respectively. The CT5-V Blackwing takes only 3.4 seconds to sprint to 60 mph (97 kph) with the optional auto 'box and is two-tenths slower with the stick shift. Flat-out, it can do over 200 miles per hour or 332 kph, according to the GM-owned premium car brand.
A CT5-V Blackwing can be had from $93,495, excluding destination, and since it would be more practical, the hypothetical estate variant would be a bit more expensive than that. However, a five-door version of this model is merely wishful thinking, as Cadillac has no intention to spend millions on research and development, only for the majority of customers to choose a sporty crossover instead. As a result, it will never see the light of day.
But assuming the automaker would dare to expand the CT5-V Blackwing family with a station wagon, would it be something that could make it to your new car shopping list?
