The Project GTP Le Mans Hypercar will have an all-new 5.5-liter V8 under the bonnet, accompanied by the mandatory electric hybrid system.<\/p>\n

Cadillac<\/a> once again tunes its engines to officially hit the world racing stage with a brand-new project called the GTP Le Mans Hypercar. The race car will perform in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n

Cadillac will return to Le Mans<\/a> after 20 years of absence, entering along with Ferrari and Peugeot. Since Toyota already dominates the race, and Glickenhaus is very competitive, the 2023 24h Le Mans race might be the most interesting in a while. At least, it will be before the 2024 race starts, where Lamborghini and Alpine will also race with their high-class race cars.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cadillac will take on Acura, BMW, and Porsche in the IMSA WeatherTech championship next year. Endurance racing is having a renaissance, and we can\u2019t be happier!<\/p>\n

\u201cBy competing in both the 2023 IMSA and WEC championships, Cadillac Racing has the opportunity to demonstrate its capability, craftsmanship, and technology,\u201d says Global Cadillac Vice President Rory Harvey.<\/p>\n

The Project GTP Le Mans Hypercar is the brainchild of Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing, and Dallara. The race car carries on the brand\u2019s legacy by including a mix of its key elements, such as the vertical lighting and floating blades. Moreover, a slight reference in styling to the brand\u2019s highly successful DPi-V.R prototype is also noticeable.<\/p>\n

Cadillac says the Project GTP is a unique convergence of form and function, tasked with carrying on \u2018Cadillac\u2019s future performance aesthetic.\u2019 Besides the sharp protrusions on the front and rear ends and the sharply chiseled body that strikes an uncanny resemblance to the classic bat mobile, the best part is that it does come in black!<\/p>\n
