The exclusive Championship Edition V-Series model will be available for Middle East customers who value individuality and high-performance driving. The special edition model includes race-inspired packages on the exterior and interior features, including color trims, seats and accessories that injects a further sense of high-octane performance to the driving experience.

Before its return to endurance racing, Cadillac had a 14-year hiatus from the sport, focusing efforts on sprint-format GT racing in eleven seasons of the Pirelli World Challenge, where Cadillac amassed 33 race wins, 121 podium finishes, 25 pole positions, five Manufacturer Championships, and six Driver Championships including the 2017 SprintX Championship.
