Cadillac Escalade-V Gets A Bold Makeover From Larte Design

Larte Design has taken a top-of-the-line Escalade-V and turned it into a vehicle that's sure to turn heads, perhaps even more so than a flagship Range Rover. Larte was prompted to create this kit by Escalade-V owners who felt that the super SUV lacked the visual impact they expected from a vehicle with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 682 hp.

Their carbon fiber body kit gives the Escalade-V an aggressive look, evident right from the front with its carbon fiber grille, prominent Larte badge, new LED daytime running lights, and a bold carbon fiber splitter. 

The makeover continues with a new carbon fiber hood, carbon wheel arch extensions, and massive 24-inch forged wheels along the sides. Additional touches include new wing mirrors, a carbon diffuser, and a roof spoiler. 

Cadillac Escalade-V owners can choose between a full carbon fiber kit or one made from basalt fiber, painted either glossy black or matched to the car's color. The carbon kit comes with a hefty price tag, starting at around €37,500 ($40,600), roughly equivalent to a high-end hot hatch.

Opting for the basalt-fiber body kit can save you about 30%. However, adding a set of 24-inch wheels like those pictured will add an additional €10,460 ($11,300) to the total cost.
