Cadillac built the LMP (LeMans Prototype) in 2000 to communicate a new world image and to challenge European luxury brand racing cars. Under Cadillac’s supervision, domestic builder Riley & Scott constructed the LMP with a carbon fiber monocoque design. A 650-horsepower twin-turbocharged Northstar 4.0-liter V8 engine powered the vehicle, and a functional Cadillac-type grille was built into the aerodynamic front section. Seven LMP monocoques were built in 2000, with five used in competition, this example used as a show car, as seen here at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, and one spare.
