Black Raven. Crystal White Tricoat. Galactic Gray Metallic. Those are the shades that fill Cadillac Escalade dealership lots across America, the safe choices for a full-size luxury SUV. A deep wine-tinted dry carbon fiber exterior? That changes the entire conversation. LARTE Design just made that conversation possible with its new ESTHETE Burgundy Carbon program, a twelve-piece transformation built specifically for the facelifted Escalade and the performance-focused Escalade-V.
Color That Lives Inside the Carbon
Most aftermarket body kits achieve a colored finish through paint, vinyl wrap, or tinted clear coats. LARTE Design took an entirely different path with the ESTHETE program. The signature burgundy tone comes from organic color pigments and fiber layers cured together inside an autoclave in a single bonded layer. The deep wine hue literally lives within the carbon weave itself, producing a shifting depth that surface paint cannot replicate. LARTE calls the process In-Weave Color Technology, a limited technique the company reserves for its dry-carbon programs.
Worth A Look
Twelve Components, German Precision
The ESTHETE package wraps the Escalade in twelve distinct structural pieces. Up front sits a custom vented hood paired with a front bumper overlay carrying an integrated splitter. Aggressive wide wheel arch extensions anchor all four corners, matched with custom mirror caps and side skirts. Out back, a roof-mounted spoiler meets a rear diffuser featuring integrated vertical brake lights. Every component is produced at a specialized German facility that already supplies dry-carbon elements for Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Porsche.
Forged Wheels and Material Options
LARTE Design completes the stance with exclusive custom-forged wheels offered in 22-inch, 23-inch, and 24-inch variations. Each wheel carries unique carbon fiber outer edge trims that echo the bodywork’s burgundy tones. Two material grades are available for the body components: the premium 100% pre-preg dry carbon fiber package at approximately $40,000, or a more affordable basalt natural fiber composite version priced at roughly $28,000. Individual pieces can also be purchased separately.
No Cutting, No Drilling, No Warranty Worries
Installation remains one of the ESTHETE program’s most practical features. Every component bolts directly to the original factory mounting locations. No cutting or drilling into the vehicle frame is required, and all driver-assistance systems, parking sensors, and factory warranties stay fully operational. The package accommodates both the standard 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 and the supercharged 682-horsepower V8 powering the Escalade-V. For owners already running one of these massive luxury SUVs, the upgrade delivers hypercar-grade materials and craftsmanship without compromising any of the factory engineering.
