Cadillac unveils V-One concept and Escalade IQ customization program

Cadillac unveiled the V-One concept at Monterey Car Week, specifically debuting at The Quail in California. The single-seat vehicle is a race-derived study rooted in the brand’s LMDh program and was co-developed with chassis constructor Dallara.

Built upon the engineering of the V-Series.R race car, the V-One features a carbon-fiber monocoque, pushrod suspension, and a hybrid 5.5-liter V-8 powertrain producing 830 combined horsepower. While the V-One shares much of its hardware with the endurance racer, it is designed to be more approachable for non-professional drivers through a customized digital interface and driver-focused cockpit.

In addition to the V-One, Cadillac announced the ‘Curated by Cadillac Escalade IQ,’ a customization program for its flagship all-electric SUV. This program allows clients to work with designers to select from millions of potential combinations, including over 160 exterior colors. Deliveries for the Escalade IQ program are expected to begin in the United States and Canada during the second half of 2027.
