Tuning House Hennessey announces a Cadillac CTS-V with 1000 hp !
by AllAutoExperts | 2 October, 2015
The tuner Hennessey has announced the development of a 1,000 hp kit for the Cadillac CTS-V. This promises to be the most powerful German sedan in the world.
The Texas specialists said the kit would seriously change the V8 CTS-V engine: two turbochargers replace the mechanical compressor and the resulting effect is a boost of power from 640 hp to 1,000.
The additional power is kept in check by a carbon-ceramic braking system, hidden behind a set of alloy wheels and large, more efficient tires and as well as by a dedicated aesthetic package.
The tuners promise that their kit called HPE1000 is the fastest four-seater saloon body in the world. Technically, it is considered a production model, as a CTS-V must pass through Hennessey workshops to be rebuilt, but the Texans will build only 24 copies of this variant for the 2016 generation. Possible more units could be built in future years if they have enough customers.
For those interested in something less wild, Hennessey offers packages of 750hp and 800 hp. In terms of technical specifications, Hennessey expects that the Cadillac CTS-V can easily exceed 380 km/h.
