Cadillac Escalade-V Teaser Promises ‘Something Exciting’ On Jan 21

We give Cadillac credit score the place it’s due. The high-performance Escalade-V has been a well-kept secret, all issues thought-about. We’ve solely had three prototype sightings in whole, one in pictures and two on video. Leaked details about the muscular SUV has been slim, and there’s been completely no official teaser marketing campaign from Cadillac. That’s, till now.

The 12-second clip featured above contains 5 automobiles silhouetted in darkness, dealing with the digicam with solely headlights and vertical-oriented LED driving lamps seen. The automobile within the center is clearly the one which grabs our consideration, because it sits considerably greater than the remainder. A snarly V8 soundtrack begins to play, and in the event you look carefully, you’ll acknowledge gentle patterns on the left matching the CT5-V sedan. On the best, it’s the CT4-V. And in entrance of all of them is a floor lined in burnt rubber.

It doesn’t take a lot sleuthing to find out that is all concerning the Escalade-V, but when that’s not sufficient proof, the video truly fades out with a V badge. The title of the teaser is one thing thrilling is coming from Cadillac, and by that, we imply coming very quickly. In actual fact, this might effectively be the one teaser we get, as an announcement is predicted on January 21 – tomorrow as of this put up.

The large query is clearly energy. The Escalade already packs a 6.2-liter V8 engine good for 420 horsepower (313 kilowatts), although it’s wrapped in almost three tons of luxurious three-row SUV. Rumors recommend it’s going to get a model of the identical supercharged V8 from the CT5-V Blackwing and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, belting out over 650 hp (485 kilowatts). A current Escalade-V spy video catches a moderately aggressive-looking acceleration run that would help such rumors, however till the official announcement arrives, we simply don’t know for positive. 

For the higher a part of 20 years, rumors have circulated a few high-performance Escalade sporting a V badge reaching manufacturing. If this teaser is any indication, that wait may almost be over. We’ll have the most recent information as quickly because it’s accessible.
