We are MASSIVE fans of the CTS-V. A monster of a car and styled like nothing else on the road. It’s funny as we were sat thinking the other day what it would look like as a race car and just how bonkers it would be. Thankfully Cadillac stepped up and launched a teaser image of the newest race car on the block in 2011 pretty quickly after our chats…and now this! So as you can see Cadillac have now formally released the first photographs of the CTS-V Coupe race car, which will debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday, Jan. 10.
Cadillac announced last month it was re-entering the Sports Car Club of America World Challenge GT racing series for the 2011 season, which begins March 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Johnny O’Connell, a three-time GT1 champion in the America Le Mans Series, and Andy Pilgrim, who won the 2005 SCCA World Challenge GT class in a Cadillac, will be behind the wheel of the CTS-V racecars.
The first on-track tests will be conducted in late January at Sebring International Raceway. Stand by…it’s going to be epic!
We will be collecting the keys to our very own street legal CTS-V in the next couple of days, so stand by for the full feature and a bag full of pics.
