Cadillac presents 2002 Le Mans challenger

Team Cadillac presented their new Le Mans and ALMS challenger in Sebring, Florida, on January 14. The completely new Cadillac Northstar LMP 02 will mark the next step in General Motors' luxury brand's sportscar race program.

The Cadillac Northstar LMP 02 features all the latest in sportscar technology, both in the mechanical and the aerodynamic domain. The best technological experience and knowledge in sportscars was made available by matching the Brackley, UK, based design team and the Warren, Michigan, based GM Racing engineers. The trans-Atlantic team produced the stunning looking car in less than nine months. As was the case in the previous two years, the Cadillac LMP will be powered by the already legendary Northstar V8 engine.

Cadillac's third season in the world's top sportscar competition includes a race debut in the 50th edition of the Sebring 12 Hours on March 16, as well as the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.

Confirming their confidence in the program, Wayne Taylor, Max Angelelli, Eric Bernard and Emmanuel Collard will again lead Cadillac's attack in Le Mans and selected races of the American Le Mans Series. Third drivers for the Sebring, Le Mans and Petit Le Mans endurance classics will be announced shortly.
