Cadillac VSR Hot Rod Concept

GM Performance parts and Race Car Replicas have created a 400 HP V-Series-inspired hot rod concept called the Cadillac VSR. A Prowler-destroying menace built for SEMA but still terrorizing other auto shows.

The VSR Concept wears familiar Cadillac styling stretched over a low slung tube framed hot rod chassis. Power comes from a 6.0-liter V8 which develops 400 HP. Why not a Cadilac CTS-V matching 568 HP? No idea. What it lacks in CTS-V power it more than makes up for in the "Holy crap that thing is awesome I want it" category. It's spartan, it's low slung, and it's open wheels. This is why we'd be terrible GM executives. The whole fleet would be open wheeled Caddy's and El Caminos.
