Video: Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V

The Cadillac CTS-V has earned many accolades in the years since it was first introduced in 2002. It is indeed a four door Corvette, combining the best of both worlds with lots of performance and lots of style to boot.

Of course, having a world class four door luxury sports car still isn't enough for some folks. A market certainly exists for more, and Hennessey Performance specializes in finding more.

Enter the V700 upgrade package for the current Cadillac CTS-V. The package boosts power to an astounding 707 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque from the 6.2 liter V8. The extra 150hp comes courtesy of a cold air induction system, a smaller supercharger pulley, a new engine management system, long tube headers, three-inch exhaust system with high-flow cats, an upgraded intercooler, more aggressive cam, and high-flow heads.

All that power adds up to some equally impressive performance numbers. 0-60 comes in 3.3 seconds with top speed hitting 211 mph. Check out the video to see the performance testing for yourself and see what makes this beast the best of both worlds.

Hennessey releases 600-800 hp packages for Cadillac CTS-V

In addition to creating the 705-hp Corvette ZR700, 715-hp GTR700 and a duo of force-fed Camaros, Hennessey has decided to tackle the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V – and in the process created a four-door ZR1.
