While Cadillac is
sending off the CTS-V with the Pedestal Edition, Hennessey is, once again,
working on GM’s BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63 fighter. In the short video they
released, they show the 1,000 hp and 1,310 Nm tuned hyper sedan in action at the Lonestar Motorsports Park.
The stock CTS-V’s
supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 640 hp and 855 Nm of torque, sprints to 96 km/h in 3.7 seconds and maxes
out at 322 km/h.
Thanks to the
upgrades performed in the engine compartment by Hennessey, this CTS-V is a heck
of a lot quicker. It needs 2.9 seconds to hit 96 km/h, and it can run
the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds, at 217 km/h.
The HPE1000 engine
upgrade is available at the Texan tuner and suits all 2016-2018 Cadillac
CTS-Vs. Besides the immense output produced by the engine, the package ensures
dyno tuning and road testing of each model. The cars also come with special
exterior badges and floor mats with Hennessey branding, as well as
serial-numbered dash and engine plaques.
Hennessey says 93
octane fuel is needed for unleashing the full 1,000 hp, as using 91 octane
gasoline will result in lower output numbers and, thus, inferior performance.
