H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing by Hennessey Performance

Hennessey Performance transforms Cadillac’s Gem into a supercharged masterpiece of unparalleled luxury and power, the H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

Sometimes, in the vast world of automobiles, a particular vehicle manages to capture the imagination, standing tall amidst its peers. The H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, crafted by the renowned Texas-based Hennessey, is one such masterpiece.

From its onset, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing boasted a prominent stature as Cadillac’s mightiest production car. This elegant beast comes equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine, producing a formidable 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque straight from the factory. Its agility is further evident in its swift acceleration, reaching 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and possessing a top speed surpassing 205 mph.

However, the magic truly begins when Hennessey gets involved. With a legacy spanning over three decades of making fast cars faster, Hennessey’s artisans have masterfully elevated the CT5-V Blackwing to celestial power tiers. Their meticulous transformation involves a series of enhancements, including ported cylinder heads, long-tube stainless steel headers, enhanced valves, and an upgraded supercharger. Post these intricacies, the Hennessey Engine Management Calibration breathes new life into the engine, setting it up for its new odyssey.

This formidable transformation bestows the vehicle with a staggering 1,000 bhp and 966 lb-ft torque. Such immense power refines its prowess, cutting a full second off its 0-60 mph sprint and rendering it a top speed of well over 200 mph.

Reflecting on this grand metamorphosis, John Hennessey, the visionary behind the brand, shares, “Cadillac’s CT5-V Blackwing, fitted with GM’s supercharged LT4, was a natural candidate for our EXORCIST upgrade as it improves power considerably without affecting drivability. Resurrected as an ‘H1000’, the four-door Cadillac is the fastest combustion-only luxury sedan on the planet. It is a rare high-water mark in a segment that will vanish by the decade’s end.”

The H1000 upgrade beautifully complements Cadillac’s inherent features, such as the adaptive Magnetic Ride Control and Brembo brakes, offering an unparalleled driving experience. An integrated data recorder is also part of the package for those with a keen eye for details and performance.

This power-packed upgrade comes with Hennessey’s signature assurance, a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty. For the true aficionados looking to possess this luxurious marvel, the H1000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is available for global shipping, ensuring that no corner of the world remains untouched by its grandeur.
