Gross and Amazing: GM’s V-Powered Cadillac Escalade Concept Hits the Block

Discover the Luxurious Power of the 2007 Cadillac Escalade

Are you searching for a luxurious and powerful sleeper SUV that seats four and stands out in performance? The 2007 Cadillac Escalade is a true marvel, and it’s set to go to auction—without a reserve!—at Barrett-Jackson’s prominent Scottsdale, Arizona, event.

This particular Escalade isn’t just any SUV; it’s a former SEMA show car built by GM, boasting the contemporary CTS-V’s supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine. Previously, it crossed the auction block in 2009, fetching a price of $61,600—only a few grand above the original sticker price prior to its modifications. Remarkably, this vehicle was consigned to that sale directly by GM as part of its Heritage Collection. As a “concept” vehicle, this Escalade is not street-legal, implying that its mileage is likely minimal.
