The world of luxury sports sedans welcomes its newest champion, the Hennessey ‘H1000’ Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. This game-changing model is the crowning achievement of Hennessey, the renowned Texas-based hypercar manufacturer known for their high-performance creations. Stepping out of the factory as Cadillac’s most potent production car, the CT5-V Blackwing instantly dazzles with a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine. A monstrous torque of 659 lb-ft and an impressive 668 horsepower set the standard. These features, combined with a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission, secure a 3.5-second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of over 205 mph.

But the real magic begins with Hennessey’s team of veteran engineers. With their motto of ‘making fast cars faster’, they take this already robust machine and elevate it to supercar heights. Their extensive modification process includes ported cylinder heads, enhanced intake and exhaust valves, improved lifters, and pushrods. Upgrades to the heat exchangers and long-tube stainless steel headers are next, followed by a high-flow supercharger. Finally, the engineers load the Hennessey Engine Management Calibration (HEMC), priming the revamped vehicle for its new mission.
The result is a staggering 1,000 bhp and 966 lb-ft of torque. These enhancements slice a full second off the 0-60 mph sprint and push the top speed well above 200 mph. The power upgrade is paired with Cadillac’s performance enhancements like adaptive Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes, and various driving modes. Hennessey’s ‘H1000’ upgrade also includes a 2-year / 24,000-mile limited warranty. This revamp positions the Hennessey ‘H1000’ Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing as the fastest combustion-only luxury sedan on Earth. The release date for this stunning model is August 2023. Don’t miss this rare high-water mark in the luxury sports sedan segment, a triumphant swansong for a style destined to disappear by the decade’s end.
