Texan tuner Hennessey Performance released details of their first upgrade package for the 2015 Cadillac Escalade. As per usual, the first treatment is all about power and performance, and so Hennessey has come up with a supercharger kit that results in a substantial power boost.
The engine powering the new Cadillac Escalade is GM’s 6.2-liter V8 with which Hennessey is very familiar. In standard tune this makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. When Hennessey is done with it though, those numbers will go up to 575 horsepower and 542 lb-ft of torque.
The power package, which costs nearly $16,000, consists of High Flow supercharger and intercooling systems, HPE engine management software, and all the necessary gaskets, fluids and hardware upgrades.
For an additional 7 grand, 2015 Cadillac Escalade by Hennessey can be equipped with some Hennessey badging, special floor mats, and above all, a set of 20-inch monoblock H10 wheels in a dark finish. They are not as blingy as the Escalade’s standard rims, but look a lot cooler, especially with red brake calipers.
