Today, Cadillac unveiled its Project GTP Hypercar, a preview of what the brand plans to compete with in both the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's GTP class and the World Endurance Championship's Le Mans Hypercar class.
Developed in conjunction with Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and Dallara, the look of the car is meant to combine key elements from Cadillac’s heritage with the high-tech shape of the upcoming GTP/LMH racers.
Powering the new race car will be an “all-new” 5.5-liter V8 paired to the LMDh common hybrid system.
Expect to see the race-ready Cadillac testing on track this summer, and look for the car to make its racing debut at the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona.
A few days earlier, BMW and Acura showed off their upcoming GTP entries:

Dang, yes.
And hopefully someone runs one in bare carbon. :)

Given Cadillac's less than exciting liveries on their current DPi cars, I'm guessing they won't.
With the way the body points forwards GM could easily switch the branding to a Corvette.
In reply to j_tso :
Now that you mention that, I do see a lot of Corvette in that nose.
And clever use of a clear dorsal fin...
Suprised they are branding it for Caddy, but it looks good. Maybe a new XLR in the future?
How does this sell more Escalades?
