Description
~685hp 2021 Cadillac Escalade 4WD Sport in Crystal White with 26,200 miles for sale! Don’t be quick to dismiss this Escalade as just another luxury SUV, it's far more than it appears. With a supercharger under the hood and a handful of additional upgrades, it delivers a level of performance you wouldn't expect from something this refined.
The factory 6.2L L87 was armed with a Whipple Gen 6 supercharger system built around a 3.0L Whipple twin-screw supercharger that’s currently running a 4.375" upper pulley at a moderate 7psi. The system also features an oversized Crusher 112mm inlet, oversized air-to-water aluminum bar-plate intercooler, high flow intercooler pump, massive dual-pass heat exchanger, aluminum high-flow intake manifold, high-capacity water system, 6-rib belt system with a heavy duty spring loaded tensioner, and adjustable idler system. Further equipped with a MagnaFlow cat-back exhaust, which produces a nice throaty and aggressive tone that isn’t too excessive or obnoxious. Tuning was completed remotely by TRIFECTA Performance (Snohomish, Washington), the vehicle hasn’t been on a dyno with this setup, however Whipple notes this setup can see up to 685hp/655 ft-Ib torque with its current pulley configuration on premium fuel (91+ octane).
This is a 1-owner vehicle that has been meticulously cared for since day one. Maintenance has been performed religiously with Mobil 1 oil changes every 2,500 miles, coil packs and spark plugs were replaced at approximately 25,000 miles, and the vehicle has been kept on a battery tender throughout ownership. It just received a fresh NY state inspection and oil change.
The exterior presents exceptionally well, the vehicle has never been driven in rain or snow, is always garage kept, and shows absolutely no rust anywhere. The Crystal White Tricoat paint retains a deep gloss finish thanks to regular detailing, and the front fascia, mirrors, and hood are protected with Paint Protection Film. The factory 12-spoke 22" wheels were swapped for a set of 22" Sport Muscle SM 94 wheels wrapped in 285/45R22 Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires, and the brakes were upgraded to a Cadillac Performance front 6-piston Brembo system with Brembo calipers and larger-than-stock Duralife rotors.
Inside, the full leather interior presents just as well as the exterior, finished in the Brandy color option. On the technology side, the vehicle is equipped with an AL Priority laser system and it's already hardwired for an Escort Redline radar detector. The vehicle is also covered by the transferrable GM Protection Plan through 05/25/2028 or 100,000 miles.
The Whipple Supercharger system was installed at 15,000 miles back in August of 2023, modifications were installed by Allison Auto Center (Ossining, New York). Full documentation will be included, such as the window sticker, Carfax report, and Whipple installation kit, along with all original factory parts.
Extended warranty available from a nationally recognized VSC company that includes BOTH the Whipple Supercharger mods and the open recall, for up to 84 months and zero deductible. Custom term and mileage quotes available.
The supercharger installation was done in fall of 2023, however the recall for 2021-2024 engines did not occur until 4/25. The owner has owned the vehicle since new, and never had any issues with the engine. This is a very early example, built in 4/2021, and most of the problematic L87 engines occurred in later years.
A Cadillac dealership couldn't perform their recall exam, which is primarily a "pico" (sound) test due to the modifications. But in anticipation of the this sale, the owner took the vehicle to a trusted and highly rated local shop, AutoClinic, and had them perform a pico test as well as a more thorough vibration & harshness test.
The engine had no issues whatsoever, and the test results are attached below.
