Not only is the Lyriq-V the first all-electric Cadillac to wear a V badge, but it will also be the fastest production model the brand has ever made. Its dual motor all-wheel drive configuration puts out 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

This enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in approximately 3.3 seconds in Velocity Max mode. That makes it the quickest Cadillac, as it’s a tenth of a second faster than the CT5-V Blackwing.

Cadillac’s V-Series model lineup has officially made the jump to the EV era. The brand’s latest entry, the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V, is the first all-electric model to carry the performance moniker. Delivering on the promise of its name, the Lyriq-V aims to impress by being the quickest-accelerating Caddy we’ve ever seen.
