Hennessey, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, has released a supercar-crushing 1,005 bhp version of the Cadillac Escalade-V. The three-row all-wheel-drive super-SUV can hit 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, and launches so hard it leaves even a Lamborghini Huracan Evo for dead at the start line.

The Texan engineering team adds almost 50 percent more power (1,005 bhp) and 35 percent more torque (882 lb-ft) to the Escalade-V with a high-flow supercharger, custom Hennessey camshaft, ported cylinder heads, custom engine calibration, and a high-performance throttle body among the long list of upgrades.

The 6,200 lb, supercharged 6.2-litre V8 Escalade-V drips with technology and has capacity for seven luxuriously-accommodated passengers, plus luggage. Yet, despite weighing almost double the Huracan, John Hennessey’s recent Lamborghini supercar drag race saw the Escalade consistently demonstrate superior off-the-line performance accelerating away by multiple car lengths before the supercar eventually catches up.

John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: “A full size luxury SUV has no business beating supercars, but the way the H1000 Escalade-V holds its own against legendary performance cars like the Huracan Evo is insane! If there’s a faster, more fun way to move seven people in this much comfort, I’m yet to find it!”

Production is now underway at Hennessey’s Sealy, Texas factory with all 2024 build slots already sold out. Orders are now being taken for 2025 production with exclusivity guaranteed with no more than 100 serial-numbered units produced for the 2023 and 2024 model years. Every vehicle benefits from Hennessey’s extensive R&D, road and track testing, plus a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty. Interested customers can find out more and place orders with authorized Cadillac retailers and at HennesseyPerformance.com, or by calling +1 979 885 1300.
