Cadillac Wants You To Pay Near-Ferrari Money To Celebrate Its 125th Anniversary
Cadillac unveiled the 2027 Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series on Thursday, October 22, timed to the United States Grand Prix in Austin. It’s the first time the brand has applied its Collector Series treatment to the Escalade, and it’s strictly limited to 252 units worldwide, with pricing starting around $239,000 before tax, title, and dealer fees.
Each truck gets a serialized number running from 1902 to 2027, one for every year of Cadillac’s history, and buyers can choose their own VIN and serial number as part of the deal. Orders are open now in the U.S. and Canada.
What Makes The 125th Anniversary Escalade-V Different
The Collector Series treatment shows up everywhere on this Escalade-V, starting with unique forged 24-inch wheels and carbon-fiber trim on the grille surround, lower rear fascia, mirror caps, and engine cover. Brake calipers are finished in blue, badges get a dark finish, and heritage V-8 puddle lamps round out the exterior cues. Buyers choose between two exclusive finishes: Midnight Stone Frost and Vibrant White Tricoat.
Inside, the standout detail is Santorini Blue, used for the stitching and seat belts against a black and Sheer Gray two-tone cabin. Illuminated sill plates mark the occasion, along with exclusive interior badging, Collector Series floor mats, and a blue key fob.
Why Santorini Blue Matters To V-Series Fans
Santorini Blue isn’t a random color choice. It’s pulled from the blue inside the V-Series emblem’s Mondrian pattern and was developed to visually connect the fifth-generation V-Series road cars to the Cadillac V-Series.R race car. The hue first appeared on the Project GTP concept and has since carried through other V-Series race and road cars, as well as the Petit Pataud and Le Monstre Collector Series editions. Putting it front and center in the Escalade-V’s cabin ties the brand’s largest, most luxury-focused vehicle directly to its racing lineage, something Escalade buyers haven’t had access to before.
The Collector Series Tradition Reaches Cadillac’s Flagship SUV
Cadillac’s Collector Series dates back to 2022, built around pairing limited-run special editions with milestones in the brand’s performance story. The most recent entry, the 2026 CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series, tied into Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1. The 125th Anniversary Escalade-V marks the first time that treatment has extended to the Escalade lineup, bringing serialized, collector-grade exclusivity to the brand’s flagship SUV rather than just its performance sedans.
“The Escalade-V 125th Anniversary Collector Series celebrates Cadillac’s heritage and our uncompromising approach to performance luxury,” said Kristian Aquilina, Vice President, Global Cadillac. With just 252 units planned and VIN selection built into the ordering process, this is shaping up to be one of the more personalized limited editions Cadillac has offered in the Collector Series run so far.
