Watch The Hennessey CTS-V “Hammer Wagon” Set A New Standing Mile Record (Video)

We love the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. Out of the factory, the car comes stock with a decimating 556 horsepower power figure, and trunk space to match. And room for a small family. But practicality aside, this car is meant for racing, and nobody tunes the CTS-V better for that exact purpose than Hennessey Performance. Case in point: John Hennessey himself just finished a standing mile run with his own V-700 tuned sport wagon.

In just one mile, the “Hammer Wagon” achieved a top speed of 189.7 mph, good enough for a new world record in a standing mile with a CTS-V. For proof, watch the video below.

    1. To me, it gets a bit scary driving anything with more than 650 hp mated to a stick. At that point, I’d rather let the computers decide what to do. Unless that power was meant (and tested) with that car from the factory.

        1. Depends on who you ask. Although I have to say that I recently drove a 670 (or so) horsepower Camaro and let’s just say that “getting used to the power” is a major understatement.
