Cadillac<\/a> will compete head-to-head against companies like BMW<\/a>, Lamborghini<\/a>, and Porsche<\/a> in endurance racing’s new LMDh category. Its V8-powered V-LMDh racer is scheduled to make its competition debut in 2023, and the firm has now revealed the liveries that the cars will wear.<\/p>\n

Three examples of the V-LMDh<\/a> will race in two separate series; the LMDh rules are valid in both International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) and World Endurance<\/a> Championship (WEC) events. The cars assigned No. 1 and No. 31 will remain in their home country and compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. They’re finished in gold and red, respectively. The car assigned No. 2 wears a blue livery and will roam the globe to race in the FIA<\/a> World Endurance Championship, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Color aside, the three cars are identical. They’re purpose-designed race cars developed with input from Dallara, among other companies, and they’re unrelated to Cadillac’s production models. Power comes from a new, naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 engine that develops up to 670 horsepower depending on regulations and that’s paired with a hybrid<\/a> system. It’s bolted to a seven-speed sequential transmission.<\/p>\n

Cars 1 and 31 will make their competition debut at the 24-hour Rolex 24 at Daytona race taking place<\/a> in two weeks at the Daytona International Speedway, January 26-29. Car No. 2 will start racing<\/a> at the 1,000 Miles of Sebring<\/a> on March 17, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
