The Cadillac Escalade has always played to the distinctly American flavor of luxury where more is always more. In the hot-rod Escalade-V, that excess finally crosses into the absurd. Hand over $68,125 on top of the Escalade's $85,690 starting price, and Cadillac will deliver a whole Supra's worth of horsepower beyond the standard 420.Is this a good deal? That's the wrong question, because while the Escalade-V has enough space to accommodate the Dallas Mavericks starting lineup, it leaves no room for rational thinking. This isn't merely an SUV-it's the kind of experience you can't put a price on.A Cadillac with a Corvette engine is a foolproof formula, as hard to screw up as stirring chocolate chips into peanut butter. The Escalade-V's 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 borrows most of its parts from the 2015-2019 Z06 with one significant difference: The big, bad Cad gets the 2019 ZR1's larger supercharger, which makes it the most powerful Cadillac ever at 682 hp and 653 lb-ft of torque.
