The long-roof rocket managed to clip off a top speed of 189.7 miles per hour in the standing mile, which beat out last year’s figure by a safe margin. That speed is certainly a feather worth sticking in the Hammer Wagon’s cap, but it may not be the most impressive part of this story. Hennessey didn’t trailer the CTS-V Sport Wagon to the track

Filed under: Aftermarket , Coupe , Performance , Cadillac Last year, we sampled Hennessey’s 700 horsepower version of the Cadillac CTS-V , and quite frankly, it frightened us. As Jonny Lieberman said at the time, “we simply weren’t prepared for the fury of the V700.” Of course, adding a little under 150 horsepower to the CTS-V is just getting started for Hennessey.

The Texas tuner has taken Cadillac’s 556-horsepower fast family-hauler and tweaked it so that the 6.2-liter V8 now produces 650 hp.

At least Hennessey Performance thinks so, and they have come up with the V700 upgrade package that boosts the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 to more than 700 horsepower. What does it take to squeeze more than 150 more horsepower out of the LSA V8? Hennessey adds a cold air induction system, a smaller supercharger pulley, a new engine management system, long tube headers, three-inch exhaust system with high-flow cats, an upgraded intercooler, more aggressive cam, and high-flow heads.
