statusoneSep 07, 2012 henessey makes a lot of promises, id like to see them actually do it. getting a light car with 1000+ horsepower off the line isnt exactly sinple. i doubt their cars can put down more than 600 on the road
Dillon MageeSep 07, 2012 And didn't the Bugatti president or someone say that the gablier will have 1000+ hp? Something about how Bugatti shouldn't mess with triple digit power?
John JenkinsSep 06, 2012 isnt the BASE (lol) veyron 2.9? and the ss 2.5? I could just be wrong
Abraham MendozaSep 06, 2012 It competes with the GALIBER concept which should have about 900 hp.
Devin BabynSep 06, 2012 They're saying it beats what ever the hell their new sedan is
Brandon LidySep 06, 2012 Most companies refer to the 0-60-0 times when they say "Bugatti beating". At least from what I've seen
Kyle JanchenkoSep 06, 2012 The title makes it sound like it's the HP figures that beat Bugatti.
Walker CarrollSep 06, 2012 Because it is probably faster 0-100 and times like thst
Thibault LeroySep 06, 2012 Carbuzz why say "Bugatti besting" when the veyron is both faster in acceleration and top speed?
Muhammad KhanSep 06, 2012 Awesome although you can just reduce the weight of it so it goes faster.
Serge PankratovSep 06, 2012 Jrise beat me to it but ill say it again ANERICA F**K YEAH!!!
Matt SuttonSep 06, 2012 Read the whole thing patrick.
Patrick R. ManuelSep 06, 2012 Wrong info. It's 1,066 Rear wheel horsepower and 964 rear wheel torque. This info is from henessey themselves.
Oliver McIntoshOct 07, 2012 It looks like the devil.
I am getting one.
Nour AhmadSep 23, 2012 I recently got my CTS-V sedan and I LOVE IT! it's the best out of xfR jag, E63 Benz, and the Bmw M5..
Awesome power and craps on almost anything out there. Last week a farrari 458 Italia tried to show off and I was on him like white on rice!!
Cody GillardSep 15, 2012 colby i couldnt agree with you more i would rather have the coupe than the sedan
canon4487Sep 11, 2012 @dave: i respect a mans opinion.. bit ur telling me you would not love to own this car? money aside..
Kris C. LopezSep 11, 2012 Actually Colby it's pretty easy. Sure the coupe looks great on alot of angles but some are just awkward whereas the coupe just has better proportions.
Pompey PaulSep 08, 2012 That's why I like Hennessy, their motto bish bash bosh
Colby ChurchSep 07, 2012 *everyone hate the coupe so much in favor of the sedan. I think the coupe looks much better, it looks more haunched in the rear and the sloping roof and rear design just looks amazing. If you've ever seen it in person, it's hard not to like it.
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 It has 345's in the rear... Not many tires wider than that! Lol
Jason BrowerSep 06, 2012 Lower it, put wider all black wheels on it and you've got yourself a beautiful thing,
Dillon DixonSep 06, 2012 this is just evil! I am completely in love!
And for you sedan people, Hennessy is wanting to do the same upgrade to sedan and wagon variants.
All of this in a wagon would be the coolest family car ever!
Aaron CrispSep 06, 2012 He actually did use the right form of your... C'mon meow no grammar nazis today.
Carlton SalmonSep 06, 2012 Reminds me of the Mad Max Interceptor. Totally bonkers but in a very good way.
Serge PankratovSep 06, 2012 I really dislike the CTS-V coupe.. But i would take this in a heartbeat, buy a sedan and swap it out lol
Matthew MidgleySep 06, 2012 So matty if someone offered me the keys to that I would pass I hate Caddys
Paul DickeySep 06, 2012 No shit Matty. But that's not the point.
Bennie Andthe JetsSep 06, 2012 I'd take any car on here if someone gave it to me, doesn't mean some aren't ugly
Matty MichaelsSep 06, 2012 But you'd all take it in a heartbeat if someone handed you the keys.
Steve WaskiewiczSep 06, 2012 Rather vulgar. :( The sedan is so much better looking. Awesome specs though!

Ben NortonSep 07, 2012 14% is incredible. The average is somewhere around 20-30, and the veyron loses wayyyy more. Power at the crank is around 2500
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 14% drivetrain loss is not bad...
Jesse WeisSep 06, 2012 Minus about 175 hp??? Thats. Not. Very. Good.
Patrick R. ManuelSep 06, 2012 Oh so it makes the previous HP number at the crank not the wheels. Comprende.

Colby ChurchSep 07, 2012 With drag slicks this car would run in the low 9's all day long no problem.
Joe JohnstonSep 07, 2012 Saw this at Houston cars and coffee last weekend.
Austin BrideSep 07, 2012 Nah The ssc is still the fastest rear drive
Ben NortonSep 07, 2012 Plus it's hard to launch well with low profile tires. Drag set up cars usually have much larger tires with huge sidewalls and low air pressure
Graham BrowneSep 07, 2012 Street tyres and weight, 10 seconds is fast for a comfortable road car!
Scotty GeeSep 07, 2012 How does a car with 1000+ HP still take 10 seconds to do the quarter mile? I would have thought it'd be a bit quicker than that.
Kyle RawnSep 06, 2012 @josh, didn't think of the consistency and smoothness of g limits. Thanks for that point. And I know what you mean about no one researching anything. It really irritates me so I do it when I try to make a point.
Jason BrowerSep 06, 2012 Not to mention, that was the stock set up. I'm assuming this car has reduced weight, a much stiffer chassis, and larger and stickier tires. This thing could probably pull a lot more on the skid pad now.
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 Having a car be able to pull big g's is legit, but being able to pull them consistently and with confidence-inspiring stability is another matter entirely. Props Kyle, very few people actually research anything anymore, even things they like.
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 That's true Kyle, it doesn't pull Viper g's--cuz its so freaking heavy and luxury sedans are supposed to be. But I was pointing out that the technology of their magnetorheological suspension is second to none--so much that Ferrari is leasing it!
Kyle RawnSep 06, 2012 After reading up, I got reports of 0.89g-0.92g, which is good for domestics, but Honda still has it bested with their 1996 Integra Type R. Or is it better than those reports say?
William DownsSep 06, 2012 Nick an Bennie are just uneducated idiots fishing for attention
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 @Ben--no curves, eh? Go read up about their suspension. Either you're ignorant or Ferrari is... Hmm...
Zaire WilkinsSep 06, 2012 damn 500hp to each wheel i wonder how a 2,000hp AWD would go in a straight line
Bennie Andthe JetsSep 06, 2012 Just make sure the road your on doesn't have any turns
Mladen SakoticSep 06, 2012 @nick. I totally agree. I'm just glad I'm not the only one thinking it
Nick EnnisSep 06, 2012 I wouldn't trust a gm at 240 mph
Josh NegronSep 06, 2012 He's just trollin'... Those tires come stock on Z06, ZR1, GT2, and GT3. And at stock config, this thing is already pretty aerodynamic.
Tara FitriaSep 06, 2012 Nix the NASCAR reference to the spoiler.
Tara FitriaSep 06, 2012 I think small animal spatula in the front will keep the front from lifting at top speed, it looks pretty low and the nascar style duck tail spoiler and rear diffuser look as if they could function.
John P JerseSep 06, 2012 No way that thing could get to 240 mph without the wheels exploding or the car lifting off
William DownsSep 06, 2012 It's 1000hp in a rwd street car, not easy putting that kind of power down with just 2 wheels
Alex RenaudSep 06, 2012 A 10 second car is fast, but I expected more from over 1000HP at the wheels. Perhaps that's with street tires, and it could pull low 9s with drag radials.
Kris C. LopezSep 11, 2012 Well it look better if it were flatter a little and then it would look like the Cien concept caddy should just make that
Colby ChurchSep 07, 2012 I love the rear of the CTS-V Coupe. It looks incredible. So edgy and fierce, hunched up like it's ready to launch forward at any second. :)
Matt PiccoloSep 07, 2012 Lol yes I do know and maybe tiny bit but not near as bad as this!
Cody GillardSep 07, 2012 pardon me but i dont really like that spoiler but take it off and its a nice rear end
Max IgnatyevSep 07, 2012 Yeah this thing is ugly! Its literally a fatt-ass car.
Abraham MendozaSep 06, 2012 Well you do know its based off the sedan right? The Honda Accord coupe has the same problem.
Matt PiccoloSep 06, 2012 The rear is so big! It should b about half that size lol

Jared OteriSep 08, 2012 I think we are on to something boys lol lets start a cult and tell Jared from subway he can't join cause he is to mainstream
Preston MingSep 06, 2012 a little disappointed in the video..sweet, it smoked the tires on the dyno! then all you get is pics of someone driving it?!? good advertisement right there..show that 10 sec 1/4 mile you claimed..video or gtfo haha
Jared Michael ScallaSep 06, 2012 Heart of courage would have been an awesome song for this.
Michael BeachSep 06, 2012 It was smoking the tires on the dyno o.O
Jared OteriSep 06, 2012 A video of pictures....... No thanks I would rather see it destroying tires
Cody GillardSep 15, 2012 i cant even imagine trying to drive that every time i do i crash it on accident
Chris KleywegSep 09, 2012 Cool car. Terrible video. Would like to hear it from something other than what sounds like a go pro.
Paul RobertsSep 07, 2012 They keep making car like this with 1200 horsepower. It's a big waste! Nobody can use that. It burns the tires and gas. These cars where never designed for all of that engine
Colby ChurchSep 07, 2012 The hood looks beast and awesome? And how in the hell do you people like the sedan better than this badass piece of coupe booty?
Justin WalakSep 06, 2012 *hood. And the sedans are nicer. I want a cts-v like yesterday.
Justin WalakSep 06, 2012 Good is ugly but this car is sick.
William DownsSep 06, 2012 @tara.. Great way to put it in perspective
Tyler TarboxSep 06, 2012 Sedan looks much much better.
Tara FitriaSep 06, 2012 I think this looks awesome (like a manly Acura rsx) and it
Probably sounds amazing, Iike it's going to eat nature for breakfast lunch and dinner with an extra side of Greenpeace topped with a chocolate covered panda.
Danny BurnsSep 06, 2012 I agree..
Don't like the 2 door.
Janak SolankiSep 06, 2012 Looks like a Lego car. I think the CTS-V sedan looks so much cleaner.
Brady FeredaySep 06, 2012 Sure is sexy I love the door handles
Ben NortonSep 08, 2012 Sleepers aren't supposed to look stock under the hood buddy!
Jason BrowerSep 06, 2012 Because nothing says sleeper like HENESSEY TWIN TURBO on a giant strut brace, or a massive bov, or a giant fuel rail, or a huge intercooler and intake piping...
Brady FeredaySep 06, 2012 Awww thank you Nathan that makes sense now they should have . in between the letters than I would have known it was an abbreviation lol
Matthew Michael GamezSep 06, 2012 Are those stock coil packs? -___- besides that it's one he'll of a sleeper besides the bov
Nathan CurtisSep 06, 2012 @Brady: Fuel Air Spark Technology
Paul RobertsSep 07, 2012 Nothing classy like wearing a nice suit then strapping into your car so you don't die
Cody GillardSep 07, 2012 4 point safety harness imagine looking inside one of those it just screams "drive me or i will kill you"
Brian JohnstonSep 07, 2012 @rich this thing does amazing on tracks stock.
Rueben J YslasSep 07, 2012 @rich
Ferrari is using the same suspension technology gm made for this car. So this car handles extremely well.
Rich VuchetichSep 07, 2012 that is the best thing Cadillac has ever done. I bet the Veyron will still spank it though. The American cars are notorious for poor handling.
Domenic Sergi-HoltSep 06, 2012 Those seats are heated and cooled, next picture shows the buttons for the climate controlled seats. I assume they didn't just leave the buttons in if it didn't work.
Scott HarringtonSep 06, 2012 I thinks it's cool to have her here. Ive been on car buzz for about 2 years now, and I've never seen a girl post such educated comments. It's usually, wow thats pretty or something like that. Welcome aboard Tara nice to have you here
Tommy PlunkertSep 06, 2012 Luxury and the six point harness don't go to well together
Tara FitriaSep 06, 2012 I like the interior, my personal preference would be the dry carbon fiber in place of the high gloss cf. i wonder if these seats have heating.
henessey makes a lot of promises, id like to see them actually do it. getting a light car with 1000+ horsepower off the line isnt exactly sinple. i doubt their cars can put down more than 600 on the road
@John no the base is 2.5
