Huge horsepower is what Hennessey is known for, whether it's a Ford Raptor or the company's own Venom GT. So it's no surprise the turbocharging Texans have come up with another 1,200-horsepower CTS-V, but this time it's a wagon. And it sounds great. MUST WATCH: Honda's Mean Mower Is Officially The World's Fastest Lawnmower At 116 MPH: Video Using the VR1200 upgrade kit, this 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon lays down 1,058 horsepower at the rear wheels and over 1,200 pound-feet of torque.
