Though summer may be nearing its conclusion, you could still have anywhere from two months to the end of the year to enjoy your local track in a new ride, depending on your location in the country. And it doesn't get much better than the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V.R Coupe featured on racecarsforyou.com, which is seeking a new home for the reasonable price of $249,000.
This is chassis number three, and notably, one of only three ever produced. This makes it an exceedingly rare race car, particularly as it is being sold as a complete vehicle instead of just a rolling chassis, which is often the case with retired high-profile racers.

The Cadillac CTS-V.R Coupe was created in just eight months by General Motors in collaboration with Pratt & Miller for competition in the Pirelli World Challenge GT Championship, where it quickly established itself as one of the most visually striking and high-performing race cars in the series. Johnny O’Connell and Andy Pilgrim achieved three consecutive drivers’ championships in 2012, 2013, and 2014, along with two manufacturers’ championships in 2012 and 2013.
According to the listing: “The car presented here is Pratt & Miller Chassis #3, which was driven by Jordan Taylor during select World Challenge events, including the Mid-Ohio races in 2012 and 2013. Taylor achieved a podium finish with this car during its competitive career, further solidifying its significance in Cadillac’s racing history. Chassis #3 is the only one that has been actively raced in recent years and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most important American GT race cars of the modern era.”

As evident from the photos, the car is in excellent condition and seems to be a turnkey purchase, indicating you likely won't need much to prepare it for a day at the track. The naturally aspirated LS3 V8 engine is expected to produce a thrilling sound, which can be heard in some nostalgic videos from its professional racing days.
The listing features images of various spare parts included with the purchase price.
- Spare bodywork components
- Multiple wheel sets
- Brake components
- Suspension parts
- Subframes
- A collection of race support inventory such as hardware, spacers, clips, hoses, ducts, seals, and other consumables
The ad also states that additional major components are available for sale, including a complete spare LS3 engine, Xtrac transmission, and differential.
