Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), known for pushing automotive boundaries, has unveiled its latest high-performance creation: the Hennessey H1000 Cadillac Escalade-V, a luxury SUV boasting 1,005 brake horsepower (bhp) and 882 lb-ft of torque. The remarkable three-row SUV not only redefines the boundaries of what a full-size family vehicle can achieve but also outperforms legendary supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan Evo in straight-line speed tests.
Supercharged Power Meets Superior Comfort –
Weighing in at over 6,200 pounds (2,812 kg), the Escalade-V’s 6.2-liter V8 engine has been extensively modified to deliver a nearly 50% increase in power over the stock model. Among the many enhancements are a high-flow supercharger, custom camshaft, ported cylinder heads, and a high-performance throttle body, all engineered by Hennessey’s team in Sealy, Texas.
Despite its size and weight, the Escalade-V rockets from 0-60 mph in an astonishing 3.6 seconds, rivaling or surpassing many iconic supercars. This feat was demonstrated by Hennessey’s CEO, John Hennessey, during a drag race against a Lamborghini Huracan Evo. The Escalade-V not only kept up but surged ahead by multiple car lengths—a testament to its engineering prowess.
John Hennessey’s Vision –
John Hennessey expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “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!”
Exclusivity and Performance –
Hennessey plans to produce only 100 units annually for the 2023 and 2024 model years, ensuring exclusivity. Production slots for 2024 have already sold out, and pre-orders for 2025 are now being accepted. Each H1000 Escalade-V comes with Hennessey’s 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty, underscoring its reliability.
The H1000 package includes comprehensive upgrades, from long-tube stainless steel headers to chassis dyno tuning and road testing for up to 500 miles. Every vehicle is meticulously handcrafted, with serial-numbered badging for added exclusivity.
Luxury Meets Practicality –
This performance monster doesn’t skimp on comfort. The three-row Escalade-V offers seating for seven passengers and ample luggage space, ensuring that it remains a versatile family vehicle despite its supercar-crushing performance.
