Oh Hennessey, where would the tuning world be without your insane creations? While the 1,200-horsepower Venom is the pinnacle of insanity, it goes without saying that nearly everything else that comes from the Texas tuner is loaded to the brim with power. This new Cadillac is no exception.

 

Topping out at 1,000 horsepower, Hennessey does give potential buyers the option to be slightly more subtle with it. With an HPE750 and HPE800 package also available, you can say goodbye to the measly 640 horsepower you get from factory, and hello to a new supercharger pulley, high flow cylinder heads, a larger intercooler, and a few more go-fast parts for your luxury sedan.

Opt for the top-of-the-line 1,000-horsepower option, though, and your 2016 CTS-V will ditch the supercharger in place of a twin-turbo setup. With that in place, Hennessey expects your suped-up super sedan to reach speeds in excess of 240 mph.

If you want one, move quick; Hennessy is only building 24 examples of its 1,000-horsepower CTS-V. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with only 750 or 800 horsepower. Nobody wants that.
