General Motors has found yet another way to make the Cadillac brand looks sporty, but this time it has nothing to do with the ATS sedan. Cadillac Racing has teamed up with iRacing.com, a premier online motorsports simulation gaming service, to make the CTS-V sedan into a virtual race car.
iRacing engineers visited the Team Cadillac race team, Pratt & Miller Engineering, near Detroit recently to begin creating the digital version of the CTS-V race car. Precise measurements of the racing cars will be made to ensure authenticity in both appearance and performance.
“Having more than 30,000 virtual racers drive a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe race car on some of the most challenging tracks in the world is great opportunity to demonstrate Cadillac’s world-class performance credentials,” said Cadillac Global Marketing Director Jim Vurpillat. “When they climb in, flip the switch on the 520-horsepower race engine and hear that rumble for the first time, they’ll remember the experience.”
