New Cadillac GTP gets ready for some endurance racing

Cadillac has officially introduced the Project GTP Hypercar LMDh, an endurance racecar qualified for the dreaded 24 Hours of Le Mans, among other things.

LMDh-class vehicles are subject to certain design limitations and technological restrictions. For one, automakers must order the chassis from one out of only four accredited suppliers; coming up with a custom design is off-limits. Cadillac chose Dallara for the job, like BMW.

Speaking about the exterior of the Project GTP, its semblance with street-legal Cadillacs is almost uncanny. Easily recognizable vertical headlights are perhaps its most recognizable feature of all.

Powering the track weapon is a hybrid powertrain that incorporates a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and an electric motor. Performance numbers remain to be revealed.
