Get in-depth info on the 2024 Cadillac CT5-V including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
We just wrote about Cadillac Racing in the doldrums in the World Endurance Championship, the automaker sitting next-to-last in the World Endurance Championship's manufacturer's standings. The factory-backed V-Series.R found its mojo at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, though, the #2 and #3 cars qualifying second and third on the Hypercar grid only after Penske Porsche driver Kevin Estre blitzed a surprising end-of-session lap to take pole.
Back to the present, Cadillac designers prepared a CT5-V Blackwing to honor Cunningham's aero-bodied entry with a riveted aluminum skin shaped with the help of Grumman Aircraft and a wind tunnel normally used to test slow flyers like crop dusters. Scheduled to enter production early next year, Cadillac will make 101 examples to celebrate the first running of the race in 1932 .
Cunningham entered his two cars as a test to see if American cars could hack the French race; the Stars and Stripes hadn't sent a representative to Le Mans since a Duesenberg tried in 1935. He made a fine showing with both, Le Monstre falling to 35th out of 60 cars when Cunningham crashed into a sand bank on the second lap and had to dig the car out, fighting back to 11th with co-driver Phil Walters. Petit Pataud finished 10th, five miles up the road from Le Monstre.
