News>>cadillac Cts-v Coupe Race Car Unveiled

I'm still not sure if I'm totally sold on the looks of the new Cadillac CTS Coupe, but with the debut of the CTS-V Coupe race car, I can say that it definitely looks pretty tough in track form.

GM has released a few images of the car prior to its official showing next week at Detroit Auto Show.

The CTS-V Coupe will run in the SCCA World Challenge with two cars piloted by Andy Pilgrim and ALMS veteran Johnny O'Connell. The competition debut for the car will come at the World Challenge season opener on March 25 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Just look at the profile of this thing! Pretty awesome.

No matter your thoughts on the styling, it's surely one of the more interesting race car designs to pop up recently.

Can't wait to see it in action myself during the Long Beach GP this year!

What do you guys think about this track-going Caddy?

Looks good.

4

Beautiful! Profile desltop please???

5

a wagon version would be both irrational and so sick at the same time

6

Very cool. It just too bad they don't race World challenge at Road America anymore.

7

So badass! Wich I can do this to my STS-V!

8

Suprisingly good looking! Wonder how they would do in GT3...

9

Fucking beautiful. Love the liftback style profile.

10

Mondrian paint job!

11

morbias, R8 LM's have turn signals.

.

really though, are 80-year-olds racing these? because that's what the styling tells me.

12

I think that they should make one for me to drift in the formula D series this year.

13

The sedan version would look cool, too!

14

race car? more like pace car. that car looks silly

15

Its about gxx dxxn time. Everybody's using american v8s except the americans. Car's hot- i'll be speedhunting it in St Pete this spring for sure! Thanks guys

16

I'm surprised how large the mirrors are for a race car.



Nice to see some real competition back in World Challenge.

17

i think that this looks pretty sweet! definately has that aggressive look...

18

looks ok.. the front end looks very 'road going'.. no debadged grille or black on black styling?? not exciting, kind of like its been designed by my Grandfather.. tame.

19

Heh, i just realized that the last picture makes you think about the good old VW Corrado.. :D

20

shit looks nice

21

Reminds me of a 350z all luxed out .

22

Now thats both epic and unexpected: A Cadillac race car! Great!

23

It has turn signals to tell the other drivers to pull of to that side so it can pass lol, thats baller right there, not to flashy with the design, simple yet functional love it. Way to go caddy.

24

Anybody remember the name of that type of rear spoiler? It's something along the lines of goose neck...swan hinge...I forget. I know the jaguar race car had it too.



Haha, a wagon version, slammed on slicks, with flared fenders and a roll cage WOULD be AWESOME.

25

Looks gay as!

26

Looks menacing!

27

Looks menacing!

28

looks great! it will look fantastic on the track

29

fat. puts me in mind of the Alfa SZ somehow.

30

Im aussie, im thinking caddy CTS ute

31

A wagon would be amazing !! A-la-Volvo 850 of yester years... But this is cool none the less

32

Looks like an AMC AMX with a newer front and rear end. Interesting, but not my cup of tea.

33

It's kinda like the Mercedes SLS in that its styling in stock form is kinda iffy, but it totally kicks ass in race car form. Woop woop!

36

This isn't the first caddy race car. They did race the CTS-V sedan a couple years back.

37

Let's create the huge sedan and then transfer it to "coupe" race car. it has sense!!

38

sexy as hell...

39

I think its stupid. Too damn big. leave the motor in a corvette where it belongs.

40

i'd like to see this with an aggressive wide fenders, kind of like that Audi at the Ring ("AUDI ON THE RING REDUX").. Overall it looks great....but something is missing. This caddie has nice sharp lines, just waiting for a kit to compliment it!

41

so damn hot. actually makes me not hate that body style.

Earlier this month I posted about the new Cadillac CTS-V Coupe that will compete in the SCCA World Challenge series. Here we have a great shot of the car undergoing testing at Sebring this week. Look absolutely sinister without livery, doesn't it
