Hennessey proves that supercar performance can come with four doors.
The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a truly special piece of engineering. It combines all the trappings of a bona fide luxury sedan with the pure American muscle and power of its beastly V8 engine, coming together to form an impressive piece of luxury performance automotive excellence. However, Hennessey Performance is known for taking what’s already excellent and bringing it up to an even greater level, and that’s what the Texas-based performance powerhouse did with the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with its H1000 upgrade.
Why the number 1,000? That’s because Hennessey upgraded the CT5-V Blackwing to have a total of 1,000 horsepower. It does so with an upgraded camshaft, cylinder heads, an upgraded supercharger and more. With carbon fiber accents throughout and sport wheels from Hennessey, owners of the upgrade package can add an intimidating and sporty edge to the luxury sedan’s subtle and understated yet still athletic look.
However, it’s on Hennessey’s Pennzoil Proving Grounds where the H1000 CT5-V Blackwing truly shines. On the straights, a loud V8 roar announces the Cadillac’s incredibly quick acceleration. With 1,000 horsepower, and a level of performance that matches and exceeds many of the world’s supercars, the H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing from Hennessey is the ultimate American luxury performance sedan.
