The specialists at Hennessey decided to take the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe to the extreme with a new comprehensive tuning kit.
Under the hoot sits a powerful 7.0-liter V8 engine capable to develop a whooping 1,226 horsepower and 1501Nm of torque. The American model takes advantage of all this power and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2,9 seconds while the top speed is rated at 389 km/h.
Impressive figures are available for the quarter mile as well, Hennessey claiming that the CTS-V needs only 10,2 seconds for this task.
In order to get so much power, Hennessey used forged aluminum pistons, new high flow cylinder heads, improved fuel injectors, turbo downpipes and exhaust system. A new air-to-water intercooler along with an upgraded fuel system complete the long list of performance tweaks.
A high-performance carbon ceramic braking system with eight-piston (front) and six-piston (rear) keeps the car on the road. Hennessey provides 20-inch alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
