The Cadillac Escalade has been a benchmark for luxury full-size SUVs and family haulers since its original introduction in the early 2000s. The Escalade is chock-full of luxury and appointments, yet it falls short in one area…performance. Introducing the Hennessey supercharged 650 horsepower upgrade for the Escalade and full General Motors lineup that share the L87 6.2L V8 engine. 

From the factory, the Escalade produceds 420 bhp and 460 lb-ft of torque from a naturally aspirated V8 engine. Hennessey’s supercharged upgrade for GM SUVs takes that number to a staggering 650 horsepower and 658 lb-ft of torque. The increase in power fed through the vehicle’s factory 10-speed transmission results in a 0-60 MPH time more than a full second faster than the stock vehicle. In addition, the supercharger mated with the factory 6.2L V8 brings the 5,500+ lb. SUV to life and makes it more usable in everyday scenarios. As with every Hennessey build, the supercharged 650 upgrade comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty for added peace of mind. 

The 650-horsepower upgrade on the Escalade, Yukon, Suburban, and Tahoe comes with a 2.9L roots-style supercharger, high-flow intercooler, performance air intake, chromoly hardened pushrods, a crankcase ventilation system, aggressive cat-back exhaust system, and proprietary engine management calibration. In addition to power upgrades, optional wheel, brake, and suspension upgrades are available for the Hennessey Escalade. 

John Hennessey, company Founder, and CEO: “Our team is very excited about this supercharging development for GM’s 6.2-liter V8, as it offers a huge audience of GM SUV owners the ability to bump power by an impressive 230 horsepower – that’s a 55 percent increase in power. Additionally, the improved torque increases drivability at all speeds and enhances towing. THe H650 upgrade transforms sedate family SUVs into performance vehicles.“
