Without a doubt, the Cadillac CTS-V is one of the most impressive luxury cars on the road today, if not one of the most impressive performance machines, period. This set of wheels becomes even more impressive when it falls into the hands of a powerhouse like Hennessey Performance Engineering.
Having even been mentioned on the international level on Top Gear, it’s safe to say that this car has been built to impress. The V-turned-“VR1200” has even managed to scare off the likes of the Bugatti Veyron.
This particular car has received special treatment from the performance shop by means of a fully built 7.0L in combination with forced induction via twin turbo. On a dyno, she was able to lay down 1,200 horsepower to the rear wheels.
The custom work doesn’t stop there. Hennessey has also improved upon the already amazing suspension and interior as well as providing the coupe with a slew of carbon fiber. In other words, this car has it all. Even the cops agreed when they clocked the car doing 220.
Recently, to our surprise, we stumbled upon the infamous big number Caddy while poking around on eBay; and if you’re looking to buy a car to live in instead of a house, boy have we found a deal for you. The coupe is listed at an astronomical $350,000, which is enough to justify taking out a second mortgage.
While it does have everything an LS fan could ever dream of and more, the price tag still seems a bit unwarranted to us. High price or not, when the car finally does change hands, it will be impossible for the new owner to not enjoy this unique piece of automotive engineering greatness.
