Cadillac is set to introduce its own General Motors-designed Formula 1 engine in 2029, with the project running “ahead of schedule”. General Motors planned to become an F1 power unit supplier from 2028, working on the design and development in Concord, North Carolina since 2025. The TWG Motorsports organization, led by CEO Dan Towriss, will continue using Ferrari power units until the Cadillac engine is ready, transitioning smoothly in terms of Intellectual Property. The focus is on getting the Cadillac power unit on the grid soon, following closely any potential regulation changes. Towriss emphasizes the importance of having a Cadillac engine in F1 by 2029, regardless of potential regulations updates. Cadillac’s recent Bahrain event and upcoming target years show the team’s commitment to performance improvement and competitiveness in the field.
