The 2011 Cadillac CTS-V.R Coupe that is up for sale is one of only three examples ever built, and it carries a price tag of $249,000.
Rare race car hits the market
Listed by racecarsforyou.com, the vehicle is chassis number three in the limited production run. Unlike many retired race cars sold merely as rolling chassis, this unit includes a complete package of components and spare parts, making it a turnkey acquisition for a buyer interested in track use.
The CTS-V.R was engineered in an eight‑month program by General Motors in partnership with Pratt & Miller. It was intended for competition in the Pirelli World Challenge GT Championship, where it quickly earned a reputation for both appearance and performance.
During its active years, drivers Johnny O’Connell and Andy Pilgrim secured three straight drivers’ championships from 2012 through 2014, while Cadillac captured manufacturers’ titles in 2012 and 2013. The car’s success helped cement the brand’s presence in American GT racing.

Proven track record and included equipment
The listing notes that chassis #3 was driven by Jordan Taylor in select World Challenge events, including the 2012 and 2013 Mid‑Ohio rounds. Taylor achieved a podium finish in the car, adding to its competitive pedigree.
Photos show the vehicle in excellent condition, with a naturally aspirated LS3 V8 engine that still produces the distinctive roar associated with its racing past. The ad also highlights a collection of race support inventory such as hardware, spacers, clips, hoses, ducts, seals and other consumables.
Potential buyers can also acquire major components separately, including a spare LS3 motor, an Xtrac transmission and a differential, should they wish to expand their parts inventory.
Although the price may seem high to some, the combination of race‑proven performance, a full spare parts set and the car’s status as the only remaining example still actively campaigned gives it a distinctive value proposition.
