Imagine an SUV that combines the luxury of a Cadillac Escalade with the heart-stopping power of a supercar. That's exactly what Hennessey Performance Engineering, Texas' most notorious speed demons, have done with their latest creation. The H850 package transforms the Cadillac Escalade-V into a super SUV that redefines the limits of performance and opulence.
At the core of this transformation is a suite of precision-engineered modifications. Hennessey has dialed up the power with a new air induction system, an upgraded supercharger, high-flow cylinder heads, a custom camshaft, and an enhanced throttle body. But the innovation doesn't stop there. The intake and exhaust valves have been reworked, and the vehicle's ECU re-tuned to unleash a staggering 850 hp at 6,200 rpm and 855 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm.
More Than Just Power
The H850 Escalade-V isn't just about raw power. It's a statement on wheels. This beast not just talks the talk but walks the walk, outperforming rivals with elegance. In a head-to-head drag with the formidable Ram 1500 TRX, the H850 displayed its superiority, easily outpacing the pickup truck that many thought was near the top of the food chain in terms of speed and power.
But Hennessey's ambition doesn't end with making the Escalade-V quicker. The firm offers an even more jaw-dropping package that pushes the SUV to a mind-blowing 1,005 hp, proving that when it comes to unlocking the potential of luxury SUVs, they play in a league of their own.
Exclusive and Elite
In the world of custom high-performance vehicles, exclusivity is just as important as the specs. Hennessey knows this all too well, capping the production of the H850 Escalade-V at just 100 units. Each vehicle comes with a serialized engine plaque and special badging, making it a collector's dream. Those lucky enough to get their hands on one can further personalize their ride with 22-inch gloss black or polished silver wheels.
"Extreme-performance SUVs are my favorite type of vehicle to drive – their sleeper status is such a great contrast to their supercar-like performance," says John Hennessey, the mastermind behind this awe-inspiring project. It's this philosophy that drives the team at Hennessey Performance to continuously push the boundaries of what's possible in automotive engineering and design.
Conclusion
The Hennessey H850 Cadillac Escalade-V is more than just a souped-up SUV. It's a testament to the art of performance tuning, blending unparalleled power with luxury and exclusivity. While Hennessey hasn't released pricing details, one thing is for sure: owning an H850 Escalade-V means joining an elite club of enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on power, performance, or prestige.
