Hennessey H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is the most powerful and fastest model in the history of the American premium brand; the 668 horsepower car jumps to 96 km/h in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 330 km/h.

The sedan, introduced in 2021, is formidable in its basic state, but Hennessey has now completely rebuilt the 6.2 V8, installed a new supercharger and replaced the factory engine management with its own software. 1014 horsepower were then measured on the brake bench, and the maximum torque was 1309 Nm instead of 893.

The car accelerates a whole second faster (i.e. 2.5 seconds for 0-96 km/h), completes the 400-meter sprint in 10.1 seconds with a standing start, the only information available about the top speed is that it “well exceeds 320 km/h hours.” Production of the Hennessey H1000 will start in August this year, and the sedan is expected to be available for purchase in Europe in the same way as the other products of the manufactory.
