NORTHSTAR GOES RACING

In 2000, Cadillac made a remarkable return to racing at Le Mans. The Cadillac Northstar LMP debuted as a radical new prototype racer. Motivated by a race-prepared 4.0L Northstar Twin Turbo V8 engine, the LMP was a powerful statement and important milestone for Cadillac.

LE MONSTRE OF LE MANS AND PETIT PATAUD

The 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans race saw the entry of two Cadillac Series 61 racers. One was nicknamed Le Monstre for its wild, aerodynamic appearance that was unlike any other postwar Cadillac. The other, a production model fitted with a racing engine, was the Petit Pataud.

 

The No. 3 Petit Pataud was driven to a 10th-place overall finish and the No. 2 Le Monstre finished 11th overall.
