Cadillac revealed the Project GTP Hypercar that previews the third-generation prototype race car from the American luxury brand. In 2023, Cadillac will contest the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The Project GTP Hypercar incorporates key brand design characteristics. Elements of the brand's heritage such as vertical lighting and floating blades are present throughout and connect the Project GTP Hypercar to the future of Cadillac.

"The Project GTP Hypercar is a unique convergence of form and function and showcases Cadillac's future performance aesthetic," said Chris Mikalauskas, lead exterior creative designer, Cadillac. "We have plenty more to come, from the upcoming race car to amazing production vehicles."

The new race car will be powered by an all-new 5.5L DOHC V-8 that will be paired to the LMDh common hybrid system.

The race car will begin on-track testing this summer and first race at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2023.
