Cadillac V-One is a single-seat track-only hypercar concept based on the Dallara carbon-fiber monocoque and pushrod-actuated suspension from the V-Series.R racing prototype. Freed from LMDh regulations, its naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 hybrid powertrain produces 830 combined horsepower. The exterior retains the prototype's aerodynamic proportions while using a hand-sprayed gradient that transitions from silver at the nose to deep navy at the rear. An illuminated Cadillac emblem replaces the conventional racing decal, while dark badging and bespoke V-Series wheels distinguish the concept.
The exposed carbon-fiber cockpit combines prototype hardware with customer-focused controls and materials. Recycled fabrics from the Cadillac Collection cover the interior, while each driver's seat is molded to their physical specifications. A serialized door plaque marks the vehicle's individual production identity, and a custom interface displays telemetry, visual feedback, and driving guidance. The steering wheel uses a dedicated button layout developed for the project.
