Cadillac isn't quiet about taking on Le Mans.
But when it reaches the fast lane, hell breaks loose. Fired by a Bosch motor-generator in the transmission’s bell housing, the factory-designed and -built 5.5-liter V-8 instantly overtakes the aural landscape. Its volume overwhelms nearby microphones, and the suddenness with which that wall of sound hits widens eyes and causes heads to snap to attention. It is, in a word, spectacular.
And what an effort it is. According to Adam Trojanek, the lead propulsion engineer, General Motors started work on the engine in mid-2021. The V-8 made it to the dyno in March 2022. Unlike recent Cadillac prototype engines—pushrod units often built by third parties—GM Powertrain constructed this DOHC engine in Pontiac, Michigan.Cadillac lined up megateam Chip Ganassi Racing more than two years ago.
And so it went. Cadillac only managed spots three through five, behind both Acuras. Jamie Coates, Ganassi’s team manager for the Cadillac effort, moved purposefully through the pit box after the checkered flag flew, hugging every crew member. His glassy eyes spoke to the program’s emotional and physical toll.
