TSM Model TSM430797 Cadillac V-Series.R #31 Whelen Cadillac Racing 'Jack Aitken - Tom Blomqvist - Pipo Derani' – 2nd Place Overall, 24 Hours of Daytona 2024

About this model

The Cadillac V-Series.R is Cadillac's state-of-the-art LMDh prototype developed in partnership with Dallara for competition in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship. Featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and powered by Cadillac's naturally aspirated 5.5-litre LMC55R V8 paired with the spec hybrid system, the V-Series.R combines traditional American V8 power with cutting-edge hybrid technology. Following its successful debut in 2023, the Cadillac quickly established itself as one of the premier contenders in international prototype racing, earning victories, pole positions, and championship success.

This TSM Model 1:43 scale replica faithfully recreates the #31 Whelen Cadillac Racing Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Jack Aitken, Tom Blomqvist, and Pipo Derani in the 2024 Rolex 24 At Daytona. After Derani claimed pole position with a record-setting qualifying lap, the striking red Whelen Cadillac remained a frontrunner throughout the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic. The trio battled Porsche and Acura until the closing stages before ultimately finishing an outstanding second overall, crossing the finish line just over two seconds behind the winning Porsche 963 in one of the closest Daytona 24 Hour finishes in recent history.

Expertly crafted by TSM Model, this premium resin replica captures the Daytona race specification in exceptional detail. The iconic red Whelen Engineering livery, sculpted hybrid prototype bodywork, dorsal fin, intricate aerodynamic elements, center-lock racing wheels, detailed cockpit, and authentic race markings are faithfully reproduced. Presented on a display base beneath a clear acrylic cover, this museum-quality model is an outstanding addition for collectors of modern GTP machinery, Cadillac Racing history, IMSA endurance racing, and Rolex 24 At Daytona competitors.
