Cadillac debuts IMSA GTP concept car

This is the first look at Cadillac’s Project GTP Hypercar, which previews the manufacturer’s third-generation prototype race car.

Chris Mikalauskas, Cadillac’s lead exterior creative designer and his design team brought the car from idea to reality in just 15 months. As the new car and class prepare to begin racing in January at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. On-track testing is set to begin later this summer.

The new car will be powered by a 5.5-liter V-8 engine paired with the LMDh single-source hybrid powertrain. Cadillac intends to compete in both the WeatherTech Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including next year’s 24 Hour of Le Mans.

“It’s a cool canvas to be able to show people the fact that we’re going to continue to make performance products in the future and this is a sample of what they might look like,” Mikalauskas said. “I just want people to realize that we’re not done making cars that are going to perform extremely well. It’s something we very much want to be a part of, and this design previews that.”

We at Motor House love the new look! Kinda of has the nose of the Corvette mixed with the BatMobile. Cant wait to see it on track.
