To mark the arrival of the highly anticipated 2022 V-Series Blackwing, Cadillac Arabia partnered with racing icon Amna Al Qubaisi to set a record track time at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit. Achieving the offcial title of “Fastest Production Sedan around the Yas Marina Circuit” in the CT5-V Blackwing, Al Qubaisi tore up the track in just 2:20:98 minutes.
