D3 Cadillac CTS-V Le Monstre
Cadillac seems to be getting serious about designing cars to appeal to the younger generation with all these tuned Cadillac CTS-V cars showing up on the market. Tuning companies worldwide are digging in the potential these cars hold, and to their surprise, putting out some nice packages with significant power upgrades. At the SEMA Show this week in the Toyo Tires booth, The D3 Group has this Cadillac CTS-V Coupe on display. It holds a highly modified 6.2-liter LSA V8 that has been bored out to 7.0-liters, and they say it produces around 1,001 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque.
Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V1000
Another impressive tuning package has been prepared for the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe from the guys at Hennessey Performance. This will be limited to 12 units so get your order in today if interested. Called the V1000, Hennessey hooked it up with a new carbon fiber aero kit consisting of a vented hood, new front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser. These aftermarket parts are wrapped together with a new sport suspension kit to lower the car, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes for superior stopping power, and performance tuning under the hood to bring the real power out.
Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V
One of the finest cars built by General Motors, the Cadillac CTS-V has been improved by the tuning firm Hennessey Performance. There’s always room for improvement when you get to work with a factory supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. Hennessey Performance has developed the V700 upgrade package to squeeze an extra 150 horses out of the Cadillac CTS-V LSA V8, giving it more than 700 horsepower. It was accomplished with the addition of a cold air induction system, smaller supercharger pulley, new engine management system, longer headers, 3-inch exhaust system, high-flow cats, upgraded intercooler, and more aggressive camshafts. The end result?
GeigerCars Cadillac CTS-V
The German tuners from GeigerCars have modified the Cadillac CTS-V as well as several other North American cars such as the Ford and Chevy. Powered by the factory 6.2-liter V8 engine, the new Cadillac received a larger turbo, intercooler, and increases in boost pressure. With all the work under the hood, GeigerCars was able to pull fantastic numbers showing 619 hp at 5,900 rpm, and 850 Nm of torque at only 4,000 rpm. This rocket-like Cadillac CTS-V reached a top speed of 330 km/h with shortened fifth and sixth gears coming from GeigerCars. The tuning company didn’t release the acceleration times yet, but with those figures it’s definitely one of the faster Cadillacs to date.
