Tom Kaulitz Chooses Cadillac Escalade

· Tokio Hotel guitarist celebrates his 18th birthday with a Cadillac Escalade
· First kilometres under the supervision of former racing driver Klaus Niedzwiedz
· Kaulitz: "An ideal car for touring"



Finding heaven in a Cadillac is part of the world of pop, certainly since Hot Chocolate's 1976 number "Heaven is in the back seat of my Cadillac". Tom Kaulitz also hopes to discover the heavenly qualities of a Cadillac. The guitarist with Tokio Hotel, one of Germany's most successful pop groups at the moment, received the keys to an Escalade Sport Luxury at Cadillac dealer Autohaus Dello in Hamburg. They were given to him by Ulrich Mehling, managing director of Cadillac, Corvette & HUMMER Deutschland GmbH, and Michael Babick, manager of the Hamburg dealership.

Tom and his twin brother Bill, leader and singer of the band, celebrated their 18th birthday on 1 September. To prepare for driving the luxury SUV, Tom was given lessons at an ADAC training ground by TV presenter and former racing driver Klaus Niedzwiedz. Tom Kaulitz said of his first car: "The Cadillac Escalade provides the highest levels of safety and comfort. It is the ideal vehicle for touring with the band. We can really relax in it, even over long distances."

Commercially speaking, Tokio Hotel is the most successful band in recent years. The group was founded by teenagers Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing (bass) and Gustav Schäfer (drums) in Magdeburg in 2001, and was called 'Develish' at the time. The band made its breakthrough under the name of Tokio Hotel in 2005 with its hit single 'Durch den Monsun'.

The Cadillac Escalade is also a top artist among the large SUVs in America. The all-aluminium V8 engine has a capacity of 6.2 litres. It has variable valve timing and delivers 301 kW (409 hp) and a maximum torque of 565 Nm to the road through a six-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive.

The extensive standard equipment consists of items such as an electrically-operated lift gate, parking assistance with an LED display for the camera at the rear, three-zone controllable air conditioning, a DVD audio system, 6-CD changer, Discrete Surround™ sound system with ten loudspeakers, leather upholstery (electrically-heated in the first and second rows) and electrically-adjustable front seats with a memory function for two driver's seat configurations.

The Sport Luxury version chosen by Kaulitz also has a number of accessories that provide additional luxury and comfort, such as an electrically-operated sliding roof, heated and cooled front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Other features include a roof-mounted DVD entertainment console with an 8-inch widescreen and electrically-folding rear seats. Safety is guaranteed by the StabiliTrak traction control, the electronic suspension fitted as standard, side and head airbags on all rows of seats and the seat belt tensioners in the front seats connected to the vehicle's sensor system.
