Hennessey V1000: A 1,000-hp tuning package for the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

2012 Hennessey Twin-Turbo V1000 CTS-V Coupe

Cadillac’s already amazing CTS-V has gotten an equally awesome tune. The Hennessey V1000 packs major power, sleek exterior mods, and interior, or lack thereof, upgrades as well.

Getting straight to it, Hennessey got under the hood and tuned the already 556-hp monster up to almost double the horsepower, at 1,000-hp, and 950 lb-ft of torque. With a top speed of 230-mph, the tuner is projecting a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds. The V1000’s twin turbo 427ci LS V8 down a quarter mile run in just 10.9 seconds. Wanna put your slips up against that?

So, I didn’t save the best for last, but there is still more. The body has been widened, the clutch got an upgrade, and stopping power has been upgraded with a set of 15.1″ inch Brembo carbon ceramic breaks. The CTS-V Coupe is also now riding on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that wrap a set of Hennessey monoblock wheels.

Weight reduction is another key point in this tune, as it is estimated to be about 200lbs lighter. Seats have been traded for a lighter set, and the rear ones can be taken out completely. Widening is courtesy of a carbon fiber kit.

To top it off, anyone lucky enough to get their hands on one of the 12 being produced will also get a track experience, with a one-day driver training class from John Heinricy, former director of GM’s Performance Division.
