- Larte Design specializes in over-the-top carbon-fiber body kits, and there’s one for the Cadillac Escalade-V
- Caddy’s biggest gas-fed SUV looks pretty restrained from the factory, but what about with a Larte body kit? Not so much.
- Since it's a purely cosmetic twist, Cadillac’s factory warranty is preserved.
Cadillac lightly facelifted the Escalade for the 2025 model year, showing particular restraint with the top-flight V variant. Despite packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 with 682 horsepower under the hood, the V basically looks identical to more modestly powered Escalades. It’s perhaps taking a page from the full-size Range Rover playbook, where big power is not something you necessarily advertise.
However, there are always going to be customers who bought the most powerful Escalade partially because they wanted everyone to notice. For these individuals, may we present the Larte Design Esthete body kit for the Escalade-V, offering a more visually striking take on the top-of-the-line Caddy SUV. Emphasis on striking, as looking at these pictures feels a bit like getting punched in the face.

Larte Design is not exactly known for pulling its punches, having built over-the-top body kits for everything from the Mercedes-AMG G63 to the BMW X6 M. It takes a special sort of brain to look at a Lamborghini Urus and decide that the factory look simply isn't aggressive enough, and you can find those minds at Larte's Turin design studio.
It's a bit like the Scoville scale in the world of hot sauce, where whether more is better isn’t really up for discussion. More is more. That’s the whole point. And, it has to be said, the Larte Design team does put a great deal of effort into the engineering behind its offerings. A few years back, it came up with pink carbon-fiber bodywork for the Escalade, and rather than just coating the elements with a tinted clearcoat, the carbon fiber weave itself was impregnated with the color.
