Formula 1’s impending debutant Cadillac has announced a spate of key details for its engine programme
Cadillac, a new entrant in Formula 1, announced key details for its engine program to provide hybrid power units for its works team, transitioning from being a Ferrari customer. The Cadillac F1 project, spearheaded by Michael Andretti and now under GM, is set to debut in 2026 with a bespoke power unit expected by the end of the decade. The project will be managed by GM’s Performance Power Units LLC and TWG Motorsports, led by Russ O’Blenes, known for successful IMSA Cadillac and Corvette engines. The new company will be based in North Carolina and is actively hiring for various roles as it gears up for F1. Cadillac plans to use GM engines once approved for racing, marking a shift towards American-built power units in F1.
