• Larte sells a 15-piece exposed carbon fiber body kit for the Escalade-V.
  • Kit includes a new front bumper and splitter as well as a large rear diffuser.
  • The owner of this Escalade-V had the carbon parts finished in gloss green.

The Cadillac Escalade-V already has more road presence than nearly anything else you can buy, sitting tall and wide and looking prepared to flatten whatever gets in its way. The standard truck is bold enough on its own, yet Larte Design saw room to push further with a body kit built around colored carbon fiber that buyers can configure to their own taste.

Larte’s Esthete kit runs to 15 separate components, every one of them carbon fiber. For this particular build, the owner had the Escalade’s sheetmetal repainted in a deep matte military green, then specified the carbon pieces in a matching Verde Carbon, this time with a gloss finish to set them apart from the body.

The tweaks made verge on over-the-top, and to some, they likely will be viewed as OTT. With that being said, a powerful and big SUV like the Escalade-V is supposed to make an impression on the road, and there’s no denying this one does just that. Even if Cadillac were to build a more aggressive version of the Escalade-V, we doubt it’d be even this wild.

Several key tweaks have been made at the front of the Cadillac, including a new bumper and lip spoiler, all with the green carbon fiber finish. Larte has also installed new front and rear fenders and even affixed green carbon aero rims to the large forged wheels, finished in black.

Larte’s Esthete package also includes new wing mirror covers, while found at the rear are a roof-mounted spoiler, a green carbon garnish, and a green carbon diffuser. This is no regular diffuser either, as it includes additional vertical LED taillights. Of course, there’s absolutely no good reason to have a big diffuser on something like an Escalade, but sometimes cars don’t have to make sense, and this is one of them.

No changes have been made to the Cadillac’s engine, meaning it continues to rock a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 682 hp and 653 lb-ft (885 Nm) of torque. This engine is coupled to a ten-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
