Hennessey’s 1,000+ horsepower Escalade V roars to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
In the world of high-performance vehicles, few things are more thrilling than seeing a luxury SUV take on a supercar in a head-to-head drag race. That’s exactly what happened when Texas-based hypercar builder Hennessey decided to upgrade a Cadillac Escalade V, transforming it into a 1,000+ horsepower beast that’s capable of jaw-dropping speed and acceleration.
The Cadillac Escalade is known for its massive size and luxury features, but Hennessey took it to a whole new level by outfitting it with their performance magic. The result? A full-sized SUV with over 1,000 horsepower that can launch from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.6 seconds. That kind of performance is typically reserved for sports cars and supercars, but Hennessey managed to deliver it in a vehicle that weighs over 6,000 pounds.
To demonstrate the sheer power of their creation, Hennessey lined the Escalade V up against none other than a Lamborghini on a racetrack. What happened next was truly unexpected. The Escalade V, despite its bulk, launched off the line like a Formula 1 car, leaving the Lamborghini struggling to keep up. The gap between the two vehicles grew quickly, and the Escalade V roared ahead, crossing the finish line well before the Lamborghini could catch up.
The modified Escalade V isn’t just about straight-line speed, though. Hennessey’s upgrades ensure that the SUV remains stable and manageable even at high speeds, with improved handling and performance that make it a force to be reckoned with on the track or the road.
This astonishing performance showcases Hennessey’s ability to transform even the most unlikely vehicles into hypercar-level machines. With over 1,000 horsepower under the hood, the Escalade V is more than just a luxurious SUV—it’s a supercar-slayer that can hold its own against some of the fastest cars in the world.
