The V-Series.R uses its electric motor until 60 km/h before the V8 fires into life

The Caddy is driven by a 5.5-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine and an electric motor. While the Ferrari hits 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, the Cadillac needs 3.6 seconds. Around a racetrack, however, the Cadillac would leave the Ferrari for dead. At last year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Cadillac V-Series.R came third in the hypercar class and proved itself as one of the quickest endurance racers on the planet.

While the Porsche has significantly less power than the McLaren and Ferrari, its all-wheel-drive system and potent launch control allow it to pull off the line quicker than the other two. However, as the speed started to build, the Ferrari shot past the 911 like a speeding bullet and claimed an easy victory. The 720S finished neck-and-neck with the Porsche. With this race out of the way, it was a matter of seeing how the Ferrari would fare against the Cadillac.
