The boys at Hennessey Motorsports have been busy lately. Their latest hot rodded project comes in the form of the 2009 Hennessey V700 CTS-V, packed with a mighty 700-horsepower tuned LSA.

When pictures of the Top Gear team coming stateside hit the internet this summer, we were pretty sure we were in for something epic. Well, the episode just aired today, and yes, it was. From Hammond having to buy a Challenger (silly Chrysler PR team!), the boys not being allowed to be "entertaining," some kid wearing…

Cadillac has announced pricing for its 556 HP 2009 CTS-V super sedan will start at $59,995 for the US market. The price includes Magnetic Ride Control and a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. An auto 'box is optional as is a moonroof and 14-way Recaro power seating. Be sure to check out…

We had some outrage from the readers when that Jeremy Clarkson fella (who recently crashed and is not at all dead) from across the water done made the Chrysler Sebring convertible one of them- whaddya call it- metaphors for the entire United States and dissed 'em both. Well, you disgruntled types can go ahead and…

Even before we had our first drive of the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, we knew it would be a seriously capable machine. Now we've got more on-board footage of GM's super sedan being flogged around a track, this time at the Monticello Motor Club in New York. At the wheel is none other than John Heinricy, who set the record lap…

Only a couple of minutes into the briefing and already things are going bad. "The supercharged engine doesn't trail off up to the 6,200 RPM redline, so on the track, you may find yourself hitting the rev limiter once or twice," says a Cadillac spokesperson, preparing us for our first foray onto the track at…

We can’t actually answer this question until September 24 at 12:01 AM, so you’ll just have to check out the gallery after the jump and judge for yourself. Our review of the 556 HP, 551 LB-FT, 191mph, 0-60 in 3.9 second 2009 Cadillac CTS-V will go live then. And, before you ask, no, just like the 2009 Corvette ZR1…

On one hand, this 2009 Cadillac CTS-V police car is all kinds of awesome. We can’t put our finger on precisely why. Maybe it's because it kind of reminds us of Robocop. On the other, it sort of feels like the police outnumber cruisers on Woodward today, and they’ll send your ass down for the pettiest of driving and/or…

When we think of hybrids we tend to think of a small gas engine and an even smaller electric motor, a la the 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid. There's also the inverse, like the Aptera, which uses a small gas engine to power a strong electric motor. But "hybrid" can mean so many different things. It's just two concepts…

We knew the new super-spec 2009 Cadillac CTS-V would be getting some impressive output numbers, and today the official figures are out — 556 HP at 6,100 RPM and 551 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 RPM. With those bitchin' numbers, the CTS-V will be doing 0-60 MPH in a lightning fast 3.9 seconds, with a standing quarter mile…

With an LS9 supercharged V8 said to make 567 HP, we know that the Cadillac CTS-V is one swift sedan. But we had no idea just how fast it would be until it recently set a lap time of 7:59.32 on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. That time makes it the fastest production sedan ever officially recorded on the German benchmark…

Sweet baby Blue Devil, everyone knew the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V would be some powerful strong stuff, but it just managed to lap the Nürburgring in 7:59.32 — that makes it the fastest production sedan ever to take the Nordschleife! With a projected 567 HP, tightened suspension, magnetic ride control, fancy-pants…

Any way you cut it, GM is going for blood with the new and improved 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and word from engineers of an unofficial rating of at least 550 HP only furthers that point. It takes a lot to make the BMW M5 look like a chump, but a 50 HP advantage will do a thing like that. Of course, the engine hasn't gone…

A mere two weeks after the General revealed the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V at the Detroit Auto Show, it's now been spotted for the first time in the wild at a CTS owners meet-up. Talk about drumming up some enthusiast support grass-roots style, right? The folks at Desert-Motors.com have the scoop with some shots of the…

Today GM officially unveiled the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. Yes, the same CTS-V that we have seen again and again. Don't fret, we're still salivating over it. The CTS-V delivers 550 horsepower at 550 lb.-ft of torque with its 6.2-liter supercharged V8. It is available in six speed manual transmission or automatic with…

After we explained earlier about GM's web-based brain-fart, it looks like the covers have now been officially blown off the wicked new 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. We're talking 550 hp, we're talking about 550 lb.-ft. of torque, we're talking magnetic ride control, we're talking performance traction management, we're…

We've been salivating over the thought of the upcoming 2009 Cadillac CTS-V for a good long while now, and the press release we just posted on the Provoq concept unveiling is also confirming the Caddy that zooms will be taking the stage for all to see at Detroit. We almost can't wait to see the ultimate expression…

The spy photographers of KGP snagged some shots of the upcoming 2009 Cadillac CTS-V completely in the buff ( the shots are better even than our earlier shots we're not afraid to say) — and let's just say the super-Caddy's looking sleek as all get-out. But the looks are less important than what's under the hood. Will…
