Cadillac power unit in 2029, Dan Towriss confirms: “Ahead of schedule”

The Cadillac project After numerous seasons which saw ten teams engaged on the track, 2026 celebrated the return to the starting grid of an eleventh company such as Cadillac, which in turn fielded two drivers such as Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, absent in 2025. Among the projects of the American company, in addition to gradually increasing its level of competitiveness, there is that of making its debut with its own power units for the 2029 championship, with the team currently Ferrari customer. A program that, according to the team’s CEO, Dan Towriss, seems likely to materialize in time for that season. Ahead of schedule The manager confirmed the actual developments of the work that General Motors is carrying out in a meeting with the media: “The project is ahead of schedule, in reality – he explained – at the moment, we plan to make the Cadillac power unit operational to compete in 2029. There are also regulations in the development phase for power units, so we are carefully monitoring the situation. But based on the current regulation, we are in line with the times expected to have a power unit for 2029″. General Motors, however, seriously risks investing millions of dollars in the construction of its own power unit just before a change to the engine regulations scheduled for 2031. A project therefore destined to last for only two seasons, but in this regard Towriss was very clear: “As I said, we are following the evolution of the regulations very carefully – he added – it is possible that the regulations change before 2031, but it is also possible that they do not change before 2031. Regardless from funding, I think it’s important to see a Cadillac power unit as soon as possible. That’s really the main goal, from my point of view. If there are ways to speed it up, we will do it at the moment, the goal remains 2029.”
