Turbo CTS-V puts down nearly 1,200 horsepower

“This was probably the NUTTIEST car we encountered at the Pikes Peak Air Strip Attack,” said the folks behind 1320 Video, which is a tall order, considering the thousand-horsepower cars they see all day.

But not many other cars that day, we reckon, showed up with 1,170 horsepower. This CTS-V achieves that figure primarily via a 101mm turbocharger, enough to propel it to 180 miles per hour on this half-mile runway. Watch from the passenger seat as the driver does exactly that.

1,000 horsepower should be enough to take care of any altitude losses. Right?
