1226 HP Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Is A Four-Seat Hennessey Venom GT

Unrelenting purpose is a cornerstone of success, and it’s bred from the desire to be the vanquish in whatever it is. For car companies like Bugatti, nothing can be too powerful, beautiful, or priceless. For a tuner company like Hennessey , it’s to manhandle Bugatti. So when CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer states that the upcoming 1000-asset horsepower Bugatti Galibier sedan would be “faster than anything on the peddle,” including tuner cars, John Hennessey accepts that demand.

“If Herr Dürheimer wants to invite us to demonstrate the top despatch of our 1,226 bhp 4-seater (on the VW straight away at Ehra-Lessien), then we would be more than on top of the world to accommodate him.” Hennessey said to Jalopnik . That 1,226 4-seater happens to be an crazy as a bedbug tuning package offered for the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe .

Along with the horsepower comes 1,109 lb-ft torque from the VR1200 upgrade featuring a look-alike-turbo LS7 engine, which is shared with the $950,000 Hennessey Animosity GT, a car that reaches 200 miles per hour in just 15.9 seconds. When viable in between the frame rails of the CTS-V Coupe along with a book full of other upgrades, that amount of potency will send the wedged Caddy to 60 mph in an elite 2.9 seconds, while breaking the three-month period mile in 10.2 seconds.

What’s more, only twelve of these coupes will be made, but Hennessey hopes to proposition the VR1200 upgrade on CTS-V sedans and wagons, too. A 1,226 train station wagon… what a world.
