CADILLAC | V-SERIES R 5.5L V8 TEAM HERTZ JOTA N 12 WEC AND 4th 24h LE MANS 2025 ALEX LYNN - NORMAN NATO - WILL STEVENS - GOLD WHITE BLACK

Gold-capped and midnight-black, the #12 Cadillac V-Series.R stunned La Sarthe by grabbing Hyperpole—Alex Lynn’s 3 min 23.166 sec lap locked out a front-row sweep for the American marque and marked the first Cadillac pole at Le Mans since the GT40 era.
Through a rain-spattered night Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens traded the lead with Ferrari and Porsche, the 5.5-litre cross-plane V8 thundering down Mulsanne while the hybrid system harvested flashes of green energy lights.
A dawn Full-Course Yellow shuffled the deck, yet car #12 emerged still on the lead lap; when the AF Corse #50 Ferrari was disqualified post-race, the JOTA-run Cadillac inherited an official fourth place—best result for a customer Hypercar in 2025 and Cadillac’s strongest finish of the modern era.
Every champagne-etched battle scar is frozen in this 1 : 18 showpiece: bug-splattered gold nose, brake-dust halos on the OZ wheels, and the “Hertz Never Lost” sticker mechanics slapped on the rear diffuser before the victory lap.
Add the machine that turned a debut pole into a near-podium epic—and lit Cadillac’s path toward Hypercar glory—to your endurance grid.
