The Legacy of V-Series
First launched at Sebring International Raceway in 2004 with the championship-winning CTS-V race car, the V-Series has consistently pushed boundaries.

"Opulent Velocity is designed to foreshadow a zero emissions expression of performance and modern luxury leadership," said Bryan Nesbitt, Cadillac's executive director of global design. The concept demonstrates how American performance can evolve for the electric age without sacrificing emotion or engagement.
And Cadillac's motorsports heritage provides the perfect proving ground. "Racing provides a testbed for transferring knowledge and technology between race cars and production vehicles," explained Brandon Vivian, executive chief engineer. This cross-pollination will shape Cadillac's electric performance future.
