Overview

  • The V‑ONE, which Cadillac unveiled on Friday, August 14, 2026, is a one‑off, single‑seat concept developed with Dallara and based on the Dallara‑chassied V‑Series.R LMDh race car.
  • Cadillac says the concept uses a hybrid V8 powertrain producing a combined 830 horsepower and shares the race car’s chassis, transmission, selected electronics and pushrod‑actuated double‑wishbone suspension.
  • The cockpit is designed to be more approachable than a pure race car with a single upholstered seat, a race‑inspired display that offers driver feedback and coaching, and simplified controls for non‑pro drivers.
  • Cadillac confirmed the V‑ONE is a concept that is not for sale and made no production commitment, while industry observers note rivals have offered similar track‑only customer cars in limited programs.
  • The V‑ONE’s reveal is meant to broaden the V‑Series brand and could presage future customer or track‑only derivatives, with Cadillac aiming for lap times roughly within 10% of the race car’s performance.
