Flying fins! Cadillac GTP race car to go for 24 Hours of Le Mans win in 2023
Fox News
Cadillac has released the first images of the GTP prototype race car it will enter in the 24 hour races at Daytona and Le Mans in 2023.
The prototype race car is being built to the new GTP class specifications, which call for a brand-unique engine combined with a standard hybrid system that will be used by all competitors.
The mid-engine coupe features the Cadillac crest on its nose and four distinctive, horizontally oriented aerodynamic fin elements extending inward from its fenders that act as a modern callback to the brand's iconic tailfins of the 1950s.
GTP will be the top class in the U.S.-based IMSA racing series and is being harmonized with the WEC (World Endurance Championship) Hypercar class so that they can compete against each other in races overseen by both sanctioning bodies.
