Cadillac is turning 125 years old in 2027 and it’s throwing a party for itself at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. The luxury has unveiled the Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series, which is a limited edition version of the performance SUV.
The Collector Series model is being offered in either Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat, which are exclusive to the trim. Cadillac will build 126 of each, with each example commemorating one year from 1902-2027, inclusive, as noted on a numbered dashboard plaque.
Along with the paint, they feature forged 24-inch wheels and carbon fiber for the grille surround, mirror caps, lower rear fascia and engine cover. They also get blue brake calipers, dark badging and puddle lamp graphics that celebrate the launch of Cadillac’s first V8 engine in 1914. The Escalade-V has one of its most powerful V8s. The supercharged 6.2-liter cranks out 682 hp, 653 lb-ft and good for a 0-60 mph sprint in 4.4 seconds.
The interior gets two-tone black and Sheer Gray upholstery and trim, Santorini Blue stitching and seatbelts, unique floor mats and illuminated V8 door sill plates. The list price is $239,000, which is $66,805 more than a base Escalade-V.
“The Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series celebrates Cadillac’s heritage and our uncompromising approach to performance luxury,” Kristian Aquilina, Vice President, Global Cadillac, said in a news release.
“From its exclusive design to its highly limited availability, this special edition gives collectors a distinctive way to celebrate Cadillac’s legacy while looking ahead to its future.”
