Few people get to ask the burning, soul-searching question: is a Cadillac Le Mans Endurance racer faster than a Ferrari 296 GTB? However, if you work for Hagerty, a car insurance company, you get a whole YouTube channel dedicated to exploring questions that most people can only dream of asking.

The Cadillac V-Series R is built by the Italian race car manufacturer Dallara, which also develops Formula E cars and serves as a client manufacturer for the Haas F1 Team. The 296 GTB is built by… yep you guessed correctly, by Ferrari.

The Cadillac V-Series R is powered by a 5.5-litre hybrid engine that produces a total system power of 680 bhp and weighs 1,030 kg. In contrast, the Ferrari 296 GTB is equipped with a 3.0-litre V-6 hybrid engine, delivering a total system power of 818 bhp and weighing 1,470 kg.

A Porsche 911 Turbo and McLaren 720S are also used as comparison benchmarks, but the ultimate test is between the Cadillac and Ferrari.
