El nuevo auto de carreras estará propulsado por un motor DOHC V-8 de 5.5L completamente nuevo que se combinará con el sistema híbrido común LMDh.

El compromiso de Cadillac con el rendimiento se materializa en la cartera de la Serie V. Su expansión reciente incluye los sedán deportivos CT4-V y CT5-V, Escalade-V, así como el CT4-V Blackwing1 y el CT5-V Blackwing1 con capacidad para pista.

El auto de carreras comenzará las pruebas en la pista este verano y la primera carrera en la Rolex 24 en Daytona en 2023.

Los logros recientes de Cadillac Racing incluyen:

  • Ganar el Campeonato IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar tres veces: 2021, 2018 y 2017
  • Ganar la Rolex 24 en Daytona cuatro veces seguidas: 2020, 2019, 2018 y 2017
  • Ganar cuatro veces la Michelin North American Endurance Cup: 2020, 2019, 2018 y 2017

Glorious summer sunshine and over 1,000 supercars across the weekend made Beaulieu’s Supercar Weekend the biggest and best yet, as over 20,000 show-goers came for the packed two-day show on 6th and 7th August.

An exceptional selection of high-performance machines was on show in the grounds of the National Motor Museum, as families and supercar fans alike experienced the sights and sounds of some of the world’s most impressive cars. With high-octane displays and impressive action, as well as special displays and trade stands, there was something for every member of the family to enjoy.

Always at the heart of the show, the greatly anticipated demonstration runs returned to the delight of spectators, with three runs each day seeing all manner of supercars being put through their paces along Beaulieu’s Chestnut Avenue. From the Lamborghini Superleggera, Nissan GTR, Ferrari 812 Superfast and Aston Martin DB9, to the Ginetta G33, Audi R8, BMW i8, Lotus Exige 430 Cup, Rolls-Royce Wraith and more, the squeal of tyres and the roar of engines was a real treat to watch.

Another must-see highlight was the daily supercar sound-off, as a wide variety high performance cars were parked up on the Arena and revved to discover which engine sounded best. From Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches and Mustangs, to an impressive Formula 2 racer, these amazing cars were cheered on by the car-loving crowd.

There was a lot to see across the showground. Ariel Motor Company brought along a selection of their extraordinary lightweight high-performance machines, with the Atom, the off-road Nomad and the Ace motorbike. Celebrating the legendary Italian brand was a display featuring a Ferrari F40, F50, Daytona and LaFerrari, along with a line-up of contemporary Ferrari supercars and hypercars.

McLaren fans were in awe of a selection of limited-edition examples on display, including a legendary McLaren F1, hybrid Artura and P1, along with, for the Sunday only, a McLaren Senna and MSO 1. While a pairing of a Jaguar XJ220 and a classic E-type was a real crowd-pleaser.

Toyota’s Supra was well represented by classic and modern-day examples of the impressive machine, along with the stunning 2000GT. Nearby, the GT40 Enthusiasts Club was showing a crowd-pleasing selection of its members’ cars, while the Honda NSX Owners Club put together a strong display.

There were some real automotive treasures to be found over in the event fields, as supercar and performance car owners parked up their pride and joy in the paddock. A Noble M12 GTO-3R, Holden Monaro, a selection of Audi R8s and Nissan GT-Rs, a classic Marcos Mantula and even a pair of Deloreans – one a perfect replica of the Back to the Future car – were joined by a line-up by Lamborghini Club UK, which included a Miura S, Urraco, Diablo, Hurracan EVO, and Aventador LP 700-4.

The Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club display included examples of the 718 Boxster S, GT3, GT4, 911 Targa 4S and Speedster, while the TVR Car Club was must-see for fans of British performance cars, with Chimaera, Tuscan, Sagaris, Griffith and more on show.

EXHIBITION ABSTRACT

Although the term “supercar” first appeared in the 1920s, the modern notion of supercars was born in the late 1960s, when automotive marvels such as the Lamborghini Miura and the Shelby AC Cobra 427, capable of performance targets far exceeding anything that had come before, made their debuts. For the next several decades, the term supercar was applied to a handful of automobiles that occupied the top tier of excellence. And then, inevitably, a car came along that was so extreme—with supernatural performance and outrageous luxury—that it outshone all supercars to date: the Bugatti Veyron of 2005. With its 4-digit horsepower, 7-digit price tag, quad-turbocharged 16-cylinder engine, and top speed greater than 250 miles per hour, the Veyron topped the numeric bar set by earlier supercars, and the “hypercar” was born.

But what exactly is a hypercar? The definition is elusive and debatable. Metrics frequently associated with the hypercar include: excessive top speed, upwards of 200 miles per hour; an abundance of horsepower, approaching or surpassing 1,000; rarity, with less than a few hundred units produced; and a price tag exceeding one million dollars. But none of these things alone, or even combined, definitively make a vehicle a hypercar. There is also an exotic look and a bespoke luxury that can bring the moniker to bear on an automobile. However subjective the definition may be, one thing is for certain: hypercars are all high-performance, highly styled, audacious, alluring, and extreme. This exhibition features a selection of these rarified, ultra-elite vehicles, exploring their manufacture and their capabilities, and hinting at what greatness is still to come.
