The Cadillac Formula 1 Team have revealed the special edition one-off livery they will run when they take part in the all-team Barcelona Shakedown later this month.
The American squad are making their Formula 1 debut this season, with experienced duo Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez returning to the grid to form their line-up.
Cadillac will unveil the livery for their inaugural F1 campaign on February 8 during the Super Bowl, a few days before official pre-season testing begins in Bahrain, hence the special edition livery for the Barcelona running that takes place between 26-30 January.
The one-off livery features a monochrome concept with geometric pattern in a gloss and matte sequence plus a large Cadillac crest draped over the rear to help disguise the aero surfaces.
It is traditional for teams to run these camouflaged liveries in testing in a bid to mask aerodynamic details ahead of the season start, particularly ahead of a season when there have been sweeping changes to the regulations.
In a nice touch, the team have also incorporated the names of the founding members of the team from both the United States and the UK into the design.
President of General Motors Mark 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.”
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 honoring automotive heritage while looking ahead as we build toward the 2026 season.”
Cadillac are expected to shakedown their car at Silverstone this month ahead of heading to Barcelona for the all-team shakedown.
