A Bold Statement in Paris

Following Cadillac’s return to Europe last year, it was only fitting that the livery reveal for the 2025 season of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) took place at the iconic Cadillac store in Paris. This flagship EV experience center opened in May 2024 to celebrate Cadillac’s re-entry into the French market and provided a stunning backdrop for this major announcement. It serves as a symbolic intersection of heritage and forward-thinking design, showcasing the brand’s dedication to progress and performance.

Doubling Down on Hypercar Ambition

Entering its third season in the Hypercar category, Cadillac Racing is poised to build on its growing momentum with two factory program entries in the FIA WEC. The No. 12 and No. 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R racecars, powered by the purpose-built Cadillac 5.5L DOHC V8 engine, embody the partnership between Cadillac and JOTA Sport, a championship-winning team. This collaboration reinforces Cadillac’s competitive edge and commitment to excellence in endurance racing.

“The unveiling of the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R livery here at our iconic flagship in Paris reflects Cadillac’s unwavering commitment to innovation and performance on the global stage. As we expand our footprint in Europe, this partnership represents a powerful opportunity to showcase Cadillac’s pioneering spirit in one of the most prestigious racing championships in the world.“ said Pere Brugal, Managing Director and President.

“We are proud to work alongside JOTA Sport and Hertz to bring our V-Series.R to life and look forward to an exciting season ahead.“

A Masterpiece of Hybrid Engineering

The Cadillac V-Series.R Hypercar is more than just a racecar; it’s a statement of Cadillac’s engineering prowess and future ambitions. It seamlessly blends Cadillac’s signature design elements—vertical lighting and floating blades—with advanced hybrid-electric technology, representing the brand’s first hybrid electrified racecar.

This third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar, co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing, and chassis constructor Dallara, builds on lessons from Cadillac’s inaugural WEC season, highlighted by a third-place finish in the centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans. The V-Series.R serves as a bridge between Cadillac’s iconic past and its forward-looking future, driving innovation on the track and influencing advancements in road vehicle technology.

A Lineup Built to Inspire

The 2025 FIA WEC season will feature an exceptional driver lineup, including Will Stevens, 2009 Formula One champion Jenson Button, and Norman Nato, who join returning Cadillac Racing teammates Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn, and Sebastien Bourdais. This accomplished group brings a wealth of talent and competitive spirit to the WEC grid, ensuring an exciting season ahead.
