Hennessey Launches 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V H850: Video

Hennessey Performance Engineering has announced the launch of the new H850 package for the 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V, offering go-fast fans a chance to boost their SUV to well over 800 horsepower. Hennessey will only offer 100 units of the 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V H850, making each example relatively exclusive. The Texas-based tuner also published a video showcasing the 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V H850’s performance capabilities in a drag race against the Ram TRX.

The supercharged engine in the 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V H850.

The H850 package elevates the Cadillac Escalade-V’s potent supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine from a standard 682 horsepower to an eye-raising 850 horsepower. This 25-percent increase in power is complemented by an impressive 31-percent boost in torque, bringing twist up to a maximum 855 pound-feet.

Making these figures a reality is a long list of upgrades, including a new air induction system, a ported supercharger, high-flow cylinder heads, and a custom camshaft. The modifications are designed to increase power without compromising the Escalade-V’s luxurious ride quality and drivability. Additional upgrades include a new throttle body, new intake and exhaust valves, and an upgraded crankcase ventilation system.

The H850 package not only increases power and torque, but also enhances the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal with standard Hennessey badging and optional 22-inch performance wheels.

Production of the H850 is limited to 100 units, making it an exclusive option for automotive enthusiasts. Each vehicle features a serial-numbered engine plaque, and each includes a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty, as well.

Customers interested in upgrading their 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V with the H850 package can place an order through authorized GM retailers, or contact Hennessey Performance Engineering directly for more information.

The standard 2024 Cadillac Escalade-V, produced at GM’s Arlington plant in Texas, serves as the foundation for this high-powered luxury SUV. All 2024 Cadillac Escalade variants ride on the GM T1 platform.

During testing, the Cadillac Escalade-V H850 outpaced formidable competitors like the 2024 RAM TRX. Watch it do exactly that in the video below:

  1. That’s why the factory “V’ should have come with the LT5! Enough said

    1. One word, warranty. And does Hennessey warrant the tranny, rear diff etc against failure? I think they do warrant their work, but the vehicle is comprised of more parts.
