The Limited-Edition Model Unveiled
Cadillac has introduced the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series, a special-edition version of its flagship SUV released to mark 125 years since the brand’s founding in 1902. The model will be shown in Austin ahead of the 2026 United States Grand Prix, where Cadillac’s Formula 1 team will compete on home soil.
Design and Performance Details
The Collector Series is offered in two paint finishes—Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat—and features extensive carbon-fiber trim on the grille surround, lower rear fascia, mirror caps and engine cover. Unique 24-inch forged wheels are paired with blue-painted brake calipers, and the exterior receives a carbon-fiber-finished grille surround and lower rear fascia. Inside, a two-tone black-and-gray cabin is accented with Santorini Blue stitching on the seats and seatbelts, illuminated “V8 Heritage” puddle lamps, exclusive floor mats, a Collector Series badge on the steering wheel, and a blue key fob. Each vehicle will be assigned a bespoke VIN and serial number chosen by the buyer.
Powertrain and Driving Dynamics
Under the hood sits the same supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 found in the standard Escalade-V. Sources report horsepower figures of either 682 hp or 680 hp and torque around 653 lb-ft. Reported 0-60 mph acceleration times range from 4.3 seconds to 4.4 seconds, with a top speed near 125 mph. The power is delivered through a 10-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels.
Production Run and Pricing
Cadillac will build exactly 252 units, each numbered sequentially between 1902 and 2027. The starting price is $239,000, roughly $70,000 above the base Escalade-V price. The vehicles will be sold in the United States and Canada, with order books now open.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Published specifications differ on the exact output and performance metrics: one outlet lists 682 hp and a 4.3-second 0-60 mph run, while another cites 680 hp and a 4.4-second sprint. Cadillac has not released an official clarification, leaving the precise figures unconfirmed.
