“Returning to racing in the SCCA World Challenge is a great way to demonstrate the performance and capability of the CTS-V Coupe,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. “The racecars in this series are production based, which allows us to validate our performance against the best of our competitors on the track, and not just the showroom.”

The race-prepped CTS-V Coupe is being developed in partnership with Pratt & Miller, a New Hudson, Mich., engineering firm which specializes in motorsports. Caddy said that while most of the race CTS-V Coupe will remain close to production, some modifications will be made to meet the SCCA series’ technical rules.
