I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out but the wheel arch gap is very exaggerated compared to the actual ground clearance.

I imagine it would go against the GLS63, but its not an exactly direct competitor given the Escalade (in Short-Wheelbase) is already physically larger than the already large GLS and rides on a body-on-frame platform. Being that it shares its engine with the CT5 Blackwing expect similar output figures.

C&D says it’s a detuned version of the CT5 BW engine, that’s why I’m asking. So it should be the V version, but not the V Blackwing performance category. Basically, M Performance but not full M.

There are multiple states of tune for the LT4 over the years so its unknown until the full reveal later this year, but it should be close or above 600hp.

Perhaps Cadillac does not want to badge it as Blackwing as they would rather have that badge associated with their two track worthy sedans whereas the Escalade is just for performance.

The poor front-end visibility of this design is a big negative. I get the appeal...it looks menacing and powerful, but its over-the-top in my view.

It is a Beastly, Sexy, Menacing, Oppulent "looking vehicle.
GM knew exactly what they were doing and designing. And they hit it out of the park!

Yeah, I'm not even into SUV's but watched the video expecting them to make it interesting and they didn't disappoint. Throttle House and Savagegeese are my favorites of the YouTube car reviewers.

I'm not into this stuff. 2-3 years and it will be ancient technology that ruins the value of the car. Mercedes patented this type of depreciation.
