Cadillac reveals the new V-ONE Hypercar, a concept derived from proven race-winning machinery across both WEC and IMSA, the Cadillac V-Series.R.
Rooted in the performance engineering shared with the Cadillac V-Series.R foundations, the V-ONE Concept explores how competition hardware can be translated into a driver-focused experience, while reinforcing Cadillac’s broader race-winning story across design, performance and technology.
“The Cadillac V-ONE Concept is the ultimate manifestation of a customer performance concept and is a clear sign of our ambition for the Cadillac V-Series brand in the future,” said Dominic Najafi, Executive Design Director, Global Cadillac.
The V-ONE is rooted in Cadillac’s LMDh racing program and informed by the V-Series.R race car, similar to Roger Penske’s Porsche 963 RS, based on the Porsche 963 LMDh, presented at the 24h of Le Mans in 2025.
At the heart of the V-ONE is a V-8 hybrid powertrain that shares foundations with the Cadillac V-Series.R race car, underscoring the concept’s serious capability and authenticity. The concept also shares deeper race-bred architecture with the V-Series.R in areas such as suspension, transmission, and select electronics. Even with that race-derived foundation, the V-ONE is intended to be easier to operate while maintaining a similar level of performance.
Some technical dimensions:
- Hybrid V-8 drivetrain with 830 combined horsepower
- Aerodynamic package inspired by V-Series.R
- Shared suspension components with V-Series.R, including double wishbone suspension, pushrod-actuated coil and torsion spring elements with lateral and heave dampers on the front and rear
- An intuitive, race-inspired interface and data visualization concept that gives drivers clear feedback and coaching as they explore the car’s full capability
The V-ONE’s exterior remains faithful to the dramatic proportions and visual intent of the V-Series.R race car, while introducing refined details that make the concept feel more advanced and more technical.
The Cadillac V-ONE Concept will be on display at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Carmel, California on August 14, 2026. And as confirmed, not for sale.
