Yes, Cadillac organized a friendly race between the Mercedes C-Class and the black gangster-mobile that is the the Escalade.
Before we say anything else, let’s take a look at what these two vehicles represent. First, the Escalade is what you’d see in the presidential convoy, a hip hop video and any movie with a car chase and guns involved.
Meanwhile the Merc has a new 5.5-liter turbocharged V8 capable of sprinting to.... wait, did they say C300? That’s got a V6 diesel with about 230 horsepower that will reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.4 seconds.
So, what do these two vehicles have to prove to each other other than who has the blackest of the black painjobs and the biggest and brashest badges? Nothing. However, seeing a Mercedes trailed by an Escalade would make our day if we ever saw that on the road.
