Hennessey Motor Sports are all about tuning cars as “sleepers” – meaning you wouldn’t suspect a four door sedan (that is usually driven by your grandma, or Paulie form The Sopranos) and give it an internal injection of hot rod power under its hood. So what did Hennessey do when they got their grubby paws on an all new Caddy CTS?

Hennessey created a V700 CTS-V – that’s 700 horse power at 6,300 rpms, 701 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpms and 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. Oh, and there is the whole top speed of 211 mph, which is probably worth mentioning.

This Hennessey charged Cadillac CTS brings us back to the golden age opf GM – before the government and money had any effect on automobiles. When seat belts were a fad and there was a cigarette ash tray on every door. Actually, this Caddy upgrade is nothing but a futuristic gear head’s dream: in addition to a huge friggin engine and horse powe3r, you’ll receive 20-inch HRE wheels neatly wrapped with 305/45-20 Nitto drag radial tires, Hennessey embroidered head rests, and a serial numbered plaque on both the dash and under the hood.

Hennessey is also working on an 800 horse power model for the near future – because let’s be honest, 0-60 in 3.1 seconds is just too damn slow for some. Try not to get your monitor all mucked up while look at these pics & video!
