Cadillac unveil special-edition livery ahead of F1 debut

Cadillac has unveiled a special-edition livery it will run on its F1 debut in the first pre-season test in Barcelona later this month.

General Motors president Mark Reuss unveiled the livery at GM’s new global headquarters in Detroit, which will then be used at the five-day test at the Circuit de Catalunya on January 26-30. The official livery will be revealed on February 8 in an advert during the Superbowl half-time show.

The unveiling was part of GM’s opening-week celebrations at its new headquarters, with the car to additionally be on display at the Detroit Auto Show until January 25.

The livery has been described by Cadillac as "a bold, yet disciplined design created specifically for the demands of pre-season development", adding that, "in Formula 1, testing liveries traditionally help mask aerodynamic details ahead of competition —-much like camouflaged prototypes in the automotive world - while still expressing brand identity.

Reuss said: "Our new testing livery celebrates Detroit’s design heritage and the power of the global Cadillac Formula 1 team, while keeping our design secrets under wraps. The Barcelona test is just the beginning. We can’t wait to share our official race livery with fans around the world next month."

Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss added: "The Cadillac Formula 1 Team is committed to innovation on and off the track.

"TWG, combined with General Motors, allows us to rethink the norm and introduce the team in bold new ways.

"Debuting our race livery during a globally televised championship broadcast challenges convention and brings Cadillac Formula 1 to a global audience.

"Paired with this special-edition testing livery designed by the GM Design studios, we’re honouring automotive heritage while looking ahead as we build toward the 2026 season."
