The American boss is back, cadillac is back at Le Mans after 21 years! The CT5 followed with the light
Although north American racing is more popular in straight-line acceleration, a lot of very violent muscle sports cars have been born, but this mainstream environment has not affected the performance of other events, such as WTCR or WRC can often see fox figure, even the more maverick Le Mans 24 Hours of Endurance, there have been a glorious era of American cars. Recently, there was a heavy news that the Cadillac brand was actually returning to the Le Mans endurance race, and it can be said that the American stubborn owner has finally returned.
Cadillac officially announced that it will compete in 2023, which means that it will return to the world's top peak event after 21 years, representing Cadillac's return to performance. In order to commemorate this historical event, Cadillac has also launched a series of measures, such as the next new version of cadillac CT5 will provide Le Mans exclusive bright orange paint, bringing a more sporty visual effect, but also with the new hot spots.
In fact, Cadillac has always been flaunting athletic performance in the Chinese market, especially in recent years, SAIC-GM Cadillac has completely become a luxury brand that exchanges price for volume. Take the Cadillac CT5 car, the pricing in the Chinese market is not high-profile, the starting guidance price of 279,700, originally a model that can be dislocated to compete, but now more sincere than the BMW 3 Series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the key Cadillac offline sales channels are also very favorable, and the landing price is more suitable for BBA to open up the grade.
In the lower price range, Cadillac can provide more passionate driving pleasure, this CT5 model provides high-performance universal 2.0T variable cylinder engine without distinction, it will not distinguish between high and low power like Mercedes-Benz BMW, from the lowest to the highest all have 237 horsepower, which has no flower intestines, nor play routines, the gearbox is also 10at, and the whole series uses front-mounted rear-drive, and the playability is indeed very high.
If you look at it from the perspective of size classification, although cadillac CT5 belongs to the B-class car, it has a clear tendency to leapfrog, with a total length of 4924mm and a wheelbase of up to 2947mm, which is not to mention more in the face of some C-class medium and large cars. The rear space performance is much stronger than the Cadillac CT4, so even a performance model can take into account the daily comfort of home.
For a car brand, the performance on the field can often be sold by itself, if next year's Cadillac endurance racing car to achieve excellent results, for the entire brand is an excellent publicity opportunity, just like the Lynk & Co brand, after winning two years of wtcr championship, they have a track gene, civilian cars can also follow a little joy, consumers think of the Lynk & Co brand, now can think of sports performance. Last year, Cadillac still maintained a sales level of more than 200,000 units, if further biased towards sports youth, with the post-90s and post-00s generation becoming the main consumer force, Cadillac's future potential is very huge.
