Key Highlights:
- Reveal Date: May 3rd (Saturday), Miami GP weekend

- Engine Debut: GM-built power units set for 2029
- Initial Engine Supply: Ferrari power until 2028

Cadillac’s F1 Entry: What We Know So Far
General Motors (GM) and Andretti Global are set to join the Formula 1 grid in 2026, operating under the TWG Motorsports banner. While the full car launch is expected next year, this early branding and livery reveal marks a significant milestone.
Though the teaser released on Cadillac’s Instagram only features the brand’s crest, reports from GM Authority strongly suggest that a full livery reveal is on the cards. The design will be shown on a generic FIA show car, similar to the displays at the F1 75 event in London.
Previous Renderings Offer Clues
Cadillac has shared two renderings over time, hinting at possible visual directions:
- Black with Gold Accents
- Revealed during initial engine plans for the Andretti-Cadillac proposal.
- A sleek, premium look that aligns with Cadillac’s luxury image.
- Blue-White Gradient with Black
- Inspired by the V-Series.R Le Mans racers.
- Reflects historic American racing colors, often used in international motorsport.
The blue and white combination draws from classic American liveries, like Dan Gurney’s 1967 Belgian Grand Prix-winning AAR Eagle and Briggs Cunningham’s Le Mans cars, which reversed the scheme to white with blue stripes.
Cadillac’s Racing Heritage
Cadillac’s recent racing campaigns with the V-Series.R prototypes provide a rich visual palette:
- Colors used: Gold, blue chrome, silver chrome, red-white-black combinations
- Teams involved: Chip Ganassi Racing, Action Express Racing
- Special liveries: A pink variant at Petit Le Mans 2024, yellow-black and blue-black gradients across seasons
This variety shows Cadillac’s willingness to experiment and align liveries with sponsorship and team identities — a trend that could continue in F1.
What’s Next for Cadillac in F1?
- Driver Lineup: No official driver announcements have been made.(likely Sergio Pérez and Daniel Ricciardo to debut
- Power Units: Cadillac will run Ferrari engines from 2026 to 2028, before introducing its own GM-built F1 engine in 2029.
- Launch Timeline: The full race car will debut ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season, possibly during pre-season events in early 2025.
