Hennessey Launches 1,005 BHP Cadillac Escalade-V: A Supercar-Rivaling Luxury SUV
Hennessey, the celebrated hypercar manufacturer from Texas, has introduced a powerful 1,005 bhp version of the Cadillac Escalade-V. This all-wheel-drive super-SUV sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, quickly overtaking the Lamborghini Huracan Evo at the start line.
The engineering team in Texas has enhanced the Escalade-V's output by nearly 50 per cent to 1,005 bhp and increased its torque by 35 per cent to 882 lb-ft. The comprehensive suite of enhancements includes a high-flow supercharger, a bespoke Hennessey camshaft, ported cylinder heads, custom engine calibration, and a high-performance throttle body.
Tipping the scales at 6,200 lbs, this supercharged 6.2-litre V8 Escalade-V brims with cutting-edge technology comfortably accommodate seven passengers and their luggage in luxury. Despite its substantial weight, nearly double that of the Huracan, John Hennessey's recent drag race against a Lamborghini supercar showcased the Escalade's dominant acceleration, consistently outstripping the supercar by multiple car lengths before it began to catch up.
The founder and CEO John Hennessey commented, "A full-size luxury SUV should not outperform supercars, yet the H1000 Escalade-V does just that against legendary performance vehicles like the Huracan Evo. To my knowledge, there is no faster or more thrilling way to transport seven people in such comfort!"
Production has started at Hennessey's Sealy, Texas facility, with all 2024 build slots already taken. The company accepts orders for the 2025 production year, guaranteeing exclusivity with no more than 100 serial-numbered units scheduled for the 2023 and 2024 model years. Each vehicle is a testament to Hennessey's rigorous research and development, thorough road and track testing, and includes a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty.
