In a bold move signaling Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 as a “full works” team, TWG Motorsports and General Motors have announced the formation of GM Performance Power Units LLC. This new venture aims to build Formula 1 vehicles and power units by the end of the decade, solidifying Cadillac’s presence on the global racing stage.
Industry veteran Russ O’Blenes has been named CEO of GM Performance Power Units LLC. With over 30 years of motorsport engineering experience, O’Blenes will oversee the development of powertrains for the Cadillac Formula 1 team, which is set to join the grid in 2026.
O’Blenes, currently director of GM Motorsports Propulsion and Performance, has an impressive track record. His career spans championship-winning racing teams and innovative production vehicles, including leading the development of the GM Performance and Racing Center in Pontiac, Michigan, and GM’s eCrate initiative for performance EV enthusiasts.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Russ to this crucial role,” said Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports. “His leadership and expertise will help lay the foundation for Cadillac’s journey in Formula 1, alongside Team Principal Graeme Lowdon, as they push the boundaries of performance and innovation.”
Under O’Blenes’ leadership, GM Performance Power Units will develop and test cutting-edge Formula 1 prototype engine technology, leveraging GM’s expertise in electrification, hybrid technology, sustainable fuels, high-efficiency internal combustion engines, advanced controls, and software systems. To support its ambitious goals, GM Performance Power Units LLC will open a dedicated facility near GM’s Charlotte Technical Center in 2026. The organization is currently building its team and is hiring across all areas of the business.
“I am truly excited to lead the team that will bring an American-built Formula 1 power unit to the grid,” said O’Blenes. “This is a pivotal moment for Cadillac and GM, and we are ramping up efforts to deliver excellence.”
Until the GM engines are approved for Formula 1 racing use, the Cadillac Formula 1 Team will utilize Ferrari power units. However, the groundwork is being laid to transition to fully American-built powertrains that reflect Cadillac’s engineering prowess and commitment to innovation.
With the formation of GM Performance Power Units LLC, Cadillac is poised to make a significant impact in Formula 1, showcasing the brand’s engineering excellence and driving passion. Stay tuned as the journey to the grid unfolds and Cadillac sets new benchmarks in motorsport history.

We know how daunting the idea of switching into an electric vehicle can be – whether your concerns deal with charging, pricing, or the benefits within the vehicle itself, Heritage Cadillac is here to answer every question. Now entering its third model year, the Cadillac LYRIQ has been refined to address early model quirks and customer concerns, making it a critical component of the brand’s electrified future.
The modular nature of EVs sets them apart from their gasoline-powered counterparts. Where traditional SUVs require different designs for chassis, engines, and suspensions across various sizes—compact, midsize, and large—electric vehicles streamline this process. Automakers can create a single platform and scale it across models. For Cadillac, this means leveraging General Motors’ innovative Ultium platform, which is set to underpin more than a dozen new models.
The LYRIQ was the first to hit the market, and with feedback from early adopters of the 2023 model, the 2024 model year aims to be the most polished version yet. After spending a week behind the wheel of the 2024 Lyriq Sport 3 AWD, priced at $70,070 (including a $1,395 delivery fee), Sean Tucker has given his feedback on how driving a LYRIQ benefited his every day.
While it may not blow away its competition in every aspect, the LYRIQ is stylish, fun to drive, and practical. It’s a solid contender in the luxury EV space and a promising glimpse into Cadillac’s electric future. The LYRIQ’s angular, chiseled exterior, especially in black, is striking, with its illuminated faux grille adding a touch of sophistication.
Inside, the cabin continues the sleek aesthetic, enhanced by a panoramic glass roof and a flat EV floor, giving it an airy feel. The 33-inch display, stretching from the driver’s panel to the center, is intuitive with large, easy-to-use icons, making it practical for driving. The 19-speaker AKG audio system also impresses with its clear sound quality.
With 500 horsepower in the AWD model, the LYRIQ delivers muscle car-like power and smooth handling. Cadillac’s estimated 307-mile range held up well in real-world conditions. Most of your charging will be done at home thanks to our partnership with Qmerit. The installation is quick and easy, and once it’s complete, you’ll never have to worry about waiting for others to charge in public. If you find yourself in a location that prevents you from installing your own charger, Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers make for convenient charging options throughout the country.
As the first vehicle on GM’s Ultium platform, the LYRIQ sets the stage for Cadillac’s electric future, blending style, performance, and innovation into a compelling package.
