Texas-Based Tuner Transforms the Cadillac Escalade into a Supercar-Beating Powerhouse
Sealy, Texas – Hennessey, a leader in high-performance engineering, has introduced a groundbreaking version of the Cadillac Escalade-V. Named the H1000, this powerful, three-row luxury SUV produces an astonishing 1,005 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, leaving even high-end supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan Evo trailing behind.
The transformation adds nearly 50% more power and brings torque up to a remarkable 882 lb-ft. This power surge is achieved through a combination of upgrades, including a high-flow supercharger, a custom camshaft, ported cylinder heads, and a high-performance throttle body. Despite its 6,200-pound weight, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 propels the Escalade with incredible force. The vehicle accommodates seven passengers with ample space for luggage, merging luxury and power in an unprecedented way. In a recent drag race demonstration, John Hennessey, the founder of the company, showcased the SUV’s ability by consistently outpacing the Huracan Evo, proving the H1000’s superior acceleration.
John Hennessey remarked, “A full-sized 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 currently underway at Hennessey’s facility in Sealy, Texas. All 2024 slots have already been reserved, and orders are now open for the 2025 model year. Exclusivity is guaranteed as Hennessey plans to limit production to only 100 units per model year. Each vehicle benefits from extensive research and development, rigorous track testing, and comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. Interested buyers can place orders through authorized Cadillac retailers.
The H1000 Escalade-V offers 1,005 brake horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 882 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm. Upgrades include an enhanced supercharger system, modified pulleys, a custom camshaft, a high-performance throttle body, and ported cylinder heads. The SUV also features an auxiliary fuel system upgrade, a high-flow air induction system, improved valve springs, intake and exhaust valves, lifters, and push rods. To manage heat, Hennessey incorporates an oversized heat exchanger and stainless-steel long-tube headers, along with a crankcase ventilation system and high-flow catalytic converters. All these enhancements are controlled by Hennessey’s engine management calibration, ensuring optimal performance.
Each vehicle undergoes professional installation, chassis dyno tuning, and extensive road testing for up to 500 miles. It comes with a serial-numbered engine bay plaque and distinctive Hennessey and ‘H1000’ badging on the exterior, emphasizing its exclusivity and performance pedigree. For those seeking a supercar-level experience in a luxury SUV, the H1000 Escalade-V offers unmatched thrill and comfort.
