    Coming back to the official teaser images it counts as our first look at Cadillac’s upcoming race car. Developed by Cadillac Racing and Design with race car manufacturer Dallara also on board, the race car utilizes a hybrid system making it fit to compete in the new Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) category.

    Cadillac is yet to share any technical and mechanical specifications, however, we do know that the new powertrain package will fuse with the GTP common hybrid system.

    As for its design language, Cadillac’s lead exterior creative designer, Chris Mikalauskas said, "While the new race car will take into account IMSA and ACO regulations, Cadillac’s brand characteristics will be instantly recognizable, many of which are seen on our V-Series vehicles today."

    He further added, “It will artistically combine form and function to influence the development of the forthcoming race car. Elements of Cadillac's brand DNA, such as vertical lighting and floating blades, will be present throughout."
