In a world where performance typically belongs to sleek, low-slung supercars, Hennessey has turned the paradigm on its head with the introduction of the H1000 Escalade-V. This remarkable three-row luxury SUV, weighing in at a hefty 6,200 pounds, has been engineered to exceed even the most formidable supercars in acceleration. With an astonishing 1,005 brake horsepower and a staggering 882 lb-ft of torque, the H1000 Escalade-V has redefined what an SUV can achieve.
Engineering Excellence
Hennessey, renowned for its commitment to high-performance vehicles, has infused the Escalade-V with nearly 50% more power and 35% more torque than its stock counterpart. This was accomplished through a meticulous process that includes the installation of a high-flow supercharger, a custom Hennessey camshaft, ported cylinder heads, and an upgraded throttle body. Each enhancement is a testament to the engineering prowess that has become synonymous with the Hennessey brand.
The result? An SUV capable of launching from 0 to 60 mph in an eye-watering 3.6 seconds. In a recent drag race against a Lamborghini Huracan Evo, the H1000 Escalade-V demonstrated its remarkable off-the-line prowess, accelerating away from the supercar with multiple car lengths to spare—an impressive feat for a vehicle of its size.
Luxurious Performance
While the H1000 Escalade-V is undeniably a powerhouse, it does not compromise on luxury or comfort. With the capacity to accommodate seven passengers and their luggage, this SUV is designed for those who seek both performance and indulgence. High-end materials and advanced technology create an opulent environment that rivals the best luxury SUVs on the market.
John Hennessey, the company’s founder and CEO, remarked, “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 Craftsmanship
Production of the H1000 Escalade-V is already in full swing at Hennessey’s factory in Sealy, Texas. With all build slots for the 2024 model year already sold out, enthusiasts eager for a taste of this unparalleled performance will have to act quickly, as only 100 serial-numbered units will be produced for both the 2023 and 2024 model years. Each vehicle will undergo rigorous R&D, road, and track testing, ensuring that it meets the high standards expected from the Hennessey name. Additionally, customers will benefit from a comprehensive three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
For those interested in experiencing this ultimate sleeper SUV, orders for the 2025 production year are now being accepted. Customers can learn more and place their orders through authorized Cadillac retailers or directly at HennesseyPerformance.com.
