Cadillac Celebrates 20 Years of V-Series

Next year marks an official two decades of our Cadillac V-Series family. To celebrate, Cadillac plans to commemorate these 20 years with a year-long celebration that began at this year’s SuperSebring endurance races this previous March – an ode to the start of the sub-brand, which took place at Sebring International Raceway in 2004.

The Cadillac V-Series performance sub-brand was launched in 2004 with the race debut and subsequent first win of the CTS-V.R race car in the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GT race. The first to join the lineup was the 2004 CTS-V, developed on the racetrack and previewed on Germany’s famed Nürburgring circuit. Following the launch came a series of 13 sedan, coupe, roadster and SUV V-Series models that brought the Cadillac V-Series brand to where we are today. 

Today, the V-Series performance lineup has grown by three to include the twin-turbocharged CT4-V Blackwing, the supercharged CT5-V Blackwing, and the long-anticipated Escalade-V. With 682 horsepower (508 kW), the Escalade-V currently wears the crown of Cadillac’s most-powerful production model ever, while the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing models offer the ultimate balance of road-going performance, luxury and track capability.

This also marks an important year for Cadillac Racing, which has expanded with the all-new, electrified Cadillac V-Series.R prototype race car competing internationally in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship. The Cadillac V-Series.R represents the start of the fifth generation of V-Series. Cadillac will also return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June for the first time in more than 20 years, competing with three cars for the overall win in the historic endurance race.

“Nearly 20 years ago, Cadillac made a bold move with V-Series that continues to resonate,” said Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey. “From the racetrack to the road, V-Series has transformed Cadillac and helped redefine performance luxury for thousands of enthusiasts. Over the next 12 months we will celebrate V-Series with a number of significant moments.”
