version of the entry that will go up against competitors from Porsche, BMW and others as it seeks to win overall victory at some of the world’s most prestigious motorsport contests.“The exciting thing about the new class, and being able to compete on a world stage again, is that it’s forming a new golden era of racing where race cars can be beautiful,” says Chris Mikalauskas, Cadillac’s lead exterior designer.

That’s Aero 101, to get the air across as big of a footprint as possible to push down on the vehicle. As we developed it, certain tricks had to be used to get air where we wanted.
