Turning a wagon into a real racer isn’t that commonplace. A ute - maybe, a truck -definitely, but a wagon would scare the kids. That’s a shame in our opinion, and that’s the reason we were so excited when we stumbled upon the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Race Car. Our disappointment was even larger than the excitement when we realized it’s only a rendering right now.
This particular project is the work of Lap 57′s Emirati race driver Omran Al Owais, who says that “a typical Emirati thinks a wagon is as cool as a chauffeur driving an old smelly Camry Wagon with trunk full of fish baskets.” Yet he and his brother still hope these awesome renderings will stir up some interest and money to turn a wagon racing dream into reality.
The two imported CTS-V Wagons from America in hopes to turn this into a proper racer they could attack the Nurburgring with. “We are hoping this fetish might catch on with other Emiratis and see them ditching their X6Ms and G55s, so that we start seeing serious girls on the road such as the RS6/E63 or the new exciting M5 Wagon. The streets of Jumeirah at night will never be the same,” Al Owais said.
The car they have is still in standard factory spec, which means it is powered by a 6.2 liter supercharged V8 engine that delivers a total of 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque. We don’t really know if they’ll be able to put it all together, but should the end result look anything like this, it will be just as cool as the CTS-V Coupe racer doing the rounds in America.
