Video: Hennessey V700 Coupe hits the dragstrip

Not only is the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V coupe one of the better looking cars available today, it is also pretty quick. Packing 556 horsepower from the factory, the two door is a force to be reckoned with right off the showroom floor. But that just isn't enough for some folks.

Give yourself an edge over those "normal" CTS-V owners with the Hennessey V700. The massaged LSA motor pumps out an impressive 700hp and 740 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. The quarter mile is obliterated in around 11 seconds, and we can bet it's one of the more comfortable 1/4 mile runs you'll ever make.

Hennessey V700 Cadillac CTS-V on the dyno

The Cadillac CTS-V was built to be a world beating, world class luxury sedan. And it meets those standards rather handily. But as always, more is better, and more is certainly the case with the Hennessey tuned V700.

More than 700 horsepower at the motor is certainly a healthy power boost over the stocker's numbers. As you can see here in this dyno video, the car pulls 636hp and 656 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, enough to blow past almost any BMW or Mercedes in your path, and perhaps a Corvette or two.
