Cadillac Escalade-V Gets Four-Digit Horsepower From Hennessey

Cadillac is set to release a fully electric Escalade IQ with 750 horsepower, but Hennessey has already outperformed the EV with an amped-up V. Following the release of the H650 package earlier this year, the Texas tuner is welcoming the luxurious SUV into the four-digit club with the newly launched H1000 kit, providing the full-size American SUV with a colossal 1,005 horsepower and over 880 pound-feet of torque.

The stock Escalade-V already boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 682 hp and 653 lb-ft, but Hennessey’s upgraded version features a high-flow air induction system, a custom camshaft, an upgraded exhaust, high-flow catalytic converters, and new intake valves. The H1000 kit also comes with a three-year / 36,000-mile warranty.
