The 2021 Cadillac Escalade SUV is a major step-up for the luxury brand owned by General Motors. Nevertheless, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade isn't a performance SUV. A V10-powered Cadillac Escalade would be a healthy proposition, with its dynamics matched by a sporty exterior design. If you're wondering what such an Escalade might look like, then this animated rendering by graphic artist Rostislav Prokop (@rostislav_prokop on Instagram) provides a hint.
Imagining The Sporty Side Of The 2021 Escalade
Prokop recently posted an animated rendering of the 2021 Cadillac Escalade on his Instagram and Facebook pages. You're looking not at an actual Escalade but a graphic rendering. It looks so real with the detailed graphics, camera movement and angles, as well as the sound emanating from its imaginary V10 engine.
This animated 2021 Cadillac Escalade is a slammed SUV with a few inches of ground clearance. Its low, slammed stance is complemented by a body kit that doesn’t just make the Escalade look wider, but also more muscular. Its wide front and rear fenders are home to glossy black wheels. The luxury SUV's sporty looks are complemented by a number of aerodynamic elements such as front spoilers, a lip, and side skirts. Glossy black elements match well with the SUV's dark blue finish.
A Luxurious SUV Lacking Real Road Performance
At first glimpse, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade really looks luxurious. Inside, this luxury is confirmed with an interior that seems like a hotel lobby. The opulent mix of high-quality materials and technology, including leather and the 38-inch curved OLED screen, did the part of the trick. The Escalade leveled up multiple times in this regard.
The 2021 Escalade, however, wasn't designed to be a high-performance SUV. That's expected simply because GM builds zero performance SUVs. Some firms (such as Hennessey Performance) and individuals (like Prokop) took matters into their own hands and reimagined of the Escalade both in the real and virtual worlds.
V10 Power To Leave The Durango Hellcat Behind
The exterior tour of this sporty Escalade is made more amazing by the grumbling sound of of the V10. This mill should be able to produce more power than the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 in the Corvette ZR1 (755 hp), to give the Dodge Durango Hellcat a run for the money.
