America’s lone representative in IMSA’s new hybrid Grand Touring Prototype class has gone with dynamic shades of red, gold, and blue to distinguish its three Cadillac V-LMDh factory entries fielded by Action Express Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing. The color choices are taken from within the brand’s V-Series logo which blends into uniform usages of black on the back half of the 670-hp hybrid V-8-powered endurance racing machines.

“From an aesthetic point of view, the LMDh regulations allowed us to create a vision for the car that is clearly Cadillac,” said Chris Mikalauskas, Cadillac’s lead exterior creative designer. “And that’s really exciting for fans and for people who are true enthusiasts, every car is unique.”

Action Express is responsible for the red Cadillac, which will contest the full IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship calendar and the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans with the No. 31 V-LMDh. Chip Ganassi has the gold No. 01 Cadillac set for the same IMSA-plus-Le-Mans schedule and its blue No. 02 V-LMDh is destined to start the year in Florida at IMSA’s Rolex 24 At Daytona and then depart for a tour of the world in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The trio will make their competition debuts later this month at IMSA’s January 28-29 season opener in Florida.

“Cadillac is ready to compete against the very best in North America and internationally — including one of the world’s toughest races, the 24 Hours of Le Mans,” said Cadillac Global VP Rory Harvey. “As Cadillac builds toward an all-electric future, the all-new V-LMDh furthers our dedication to exploring new advanced performance technologies.”
