“We’re honored Cadillac chose Barrett-Jackson for this historic sale,” said Craig Jackson, CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “It’s a unique chance to own a piece of automotive history, while supporting children’s education in Detroit.”
The ESCALADE IQ, built on GM’s advanced EV platform, offers a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with over 200 kWh, an estimated range of 460 miles, and 750 horsepower.
It can go from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds, according to Cadillac estimates, and includes Super Cruise hands-free driving tech.
Inside, the SUV features a 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display, a 40-speaker AKG audio system, massaging second-row seats, wireless charging, and a panoramic glass roof.
Proceeds will go directly to the Detroit Children’s Fund, with Barrett-Jackson continuing its philanthropic legacy, having raised over $155 million for charity.
