Hennessey<\/a> released details of a limited edition, 1,200hp version of the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Coupe today. Just twelve will be produced and each will feature upgrades to the engine, gearbox, suspension, braking system and aerodynamics, as well as a range of interior upgrades.<\/p>\n

To start with the engine, Hennessey took the basic 6.2 liter V8 LSA engine out of the CTS-V Coupe and replaced it with a 427 CID aluminium V8. To this, forged aluminium pistons, steel connecting rods, steel crankshaft, ARP main studs and head bolts, high flow cylinder heads and a Hennessey VR1200 camshaft were added. The extra power comes from a twin turbocharger setup with an upgraded fuel system, upgraded injectors and dual wastegates. <\/p>\n\r\n
