I’m saying 755hp/755tq.  Read another article that states Cadillac is going big on this engine. I believe the reason they didn’t show numbers is because an LT5 is under the hood. If this is true, I already talked to the wife and if it’s right at $100k. I might pull the trigger. But if it’s above $125k. Then heck no!!

 

 

It will be the LT4, probably detuned from the CT5-V Blackwing setup.  640-650hp 640-650tq. 

 

LT5 died with the C7 ZR1.  

 

Sport Platinum 4x4 starts at $106,290, this thing will easily start at $116,000 or more.

Agreed, and seeing how Cadillac is selling every SUV they make at every price point, I wouldn't put it past them to try and crack the 125K mark FULLY loaded.

Well the specs are out 682HP/653TQ from the Blackwing 6.2L V8 and it starts at $150K!!!

 

Holy cow! Wish this would be in an SS crew cab/ reg cab truck starting at $70K!!!  Would sell a plethora of them.

Yeah, that's not worth $70,000 more than a base Escalade. Basically some corporate dipshit said we should try to make $80,000 profit per truck we sell.

They will sell every one of these $150K Escalade Vs they can build, mark my words. Most Escalades are heavily optioned and selling for over $100K as it stands. It's extremely rare to find a base model with zero options.

They will sell the piss out of this thing! 

 

Now I'm more mad we couldn't get this engine in the ZR2 ??? And they used the bigger blower!

geeeeeeeez but good for you GM!
