Under 8 seconds around the Nürburgring? That record won't be beaten for quite a long time. Bravo Cadillac.
14:01
Yes, Jay was off a bit. One lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife is more than 14 miles. The actual time was a bit under 8 minutes.
And John doesn't even catch it, he just says...."correct." haha. He was probably thinking, "well, it did under 8 minutes, but 8 seconds sounds better so.....'correct.'"
Most likely the toughest section of the track.. Not the whole track..
It was the fastest sedan time not just car. Listen to it again at 13:58
Correct.
Props to the post-production audio team on this show. How did they get such clean dialog on the open window scene? Jay was driving on the freeway and the sound quality is still clean and pro.
R Trev Jay has a wireless Mic on while he's driving
a microphone
so about $7k of upgrades for only $20k more? that's a bargain!
That's what I was thinking.
Blower alone is 5k
@@legojuggalo1483 they dont change the blower, it's a pulley upgrade
Rich Jake if you do your research and buy the right components there is no sense in paying a company do it. Your paying for the name
@@RyCoMurphy lingenfelter has a pully upgrade n other things for 667 for 630hp n 650hp for 2k n 700hp for 6695 so the rest of the 13k is just bs not worth it
I get goosebumps just watching this ROLL! I love it! I need this in my life!
Most drivers would probably consider the stock 540 hp version quite sufficient - the design of this car is really exceptional, and given that it was around just a few years, these are likely to become future collectibles.....
No more 6 speed CTSv these are already collectible
Correction..556hp not 540hp
This comment aged well… just picked one up under 30k but everyone wants 38k plus now
@@andycalifitness9854 was worth it ? Now few months later. I'm asking bc I got OK from wife for 2010 v2 auto but it's her daily. I do nasty work so I'll use work truck 5 days week but mature have 2 kids 80lb dog lol
@@andycalifitness9854I just picked one up for 25! Could sell it for 35-40 all day this comment aged perfectly
Jay must have liked it - he still has it. When you see shots in the garage it’s still there.
GM did an awesome job in designing this car. The 6.2L is a beast and this car handles and drives great.
That has to be one of the best sounding engines I've heard in a bit.
Search 9 sec cts
Bro listen to a 2011 Prius that is the best sounding car of all time
@@thomasriley6263 ❤😂
Such a nice GM design for a car, and hard to believe it'll be 12 years old now.
agree, just picked one up with 25k miles, manual.... still better than most on the market, esp for the price!
"Eddie Bauer stays at the King Ranch" Lmao. When Leno dies that denim shirt is going to a museum.
This reminds me of when I was younger, my dad rebuilt a '62 Impala, but used a brand new 454 because the 327 block was cracked. Being dropped off at school in 2nd grade was awesome. All the kids would talk about how Lambos and Ferraris were the shit, then they shut up when my dad pulled into the pick up line. He sold it so my mom could by a sedan, while he took the work truck. We always joke about him selling it because he couldn't sell me. A truly good father.
My first car at 16 1/2 was a 1985 2dr Fleetwood Brougham Grey with grey leather interior. I fkn loved that car!! I would love to have a Coupe de thrill!!.
14:00 Under eight seconds at the Nurburgring? Jay must be smoking one of those good Cadillac bongs from 09:04.
I love that Leno is a car guy and shares his rides with others; whether it is here on youtube or with those lucky enough to tour his garage in person! Thanks Jay! Can I get a tour of your garage?!?!?!
How cool is it that Leno has a channel with free TV car shows! Gets down into the detail level that commercial endeavors can't indulge. Thanks for bringing us each of these shows Jay.
Love that you’re a dedicated GM man, jay!
- He’s not dedicated to any one brand , the man has a huge collection of all different makes and models of automobiles. He’s got a huge amount of Fords and Dodges to name just a few .
"Wow, look at the 2 old guys in the Cadillac!" *steps on the gas* *supercharger whine*
20K for that package is about twice as much as it should cost. Especially considering you can get 630HP for about 2K. But hey it's Hennessey what do you expect?
Does yours come with a Warranty?
mbsnyderc Yeah... www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/cadillac-cts-v-lsa-2009-2013/378-cid-lsa-supercharger-system-upgrade-630-hp

Just Floor It But the badges and stickers!!! Those have to be worth 10k.
DucDucSTFU LOL
A murdered out black CTS-V coupe is definitely my next car. Love these things.
rsmith137 so did u get it?
@@mario_sw20 I forgot that i ever commented on this but yes I did. Picked up a low mile 2014 Black Raven coupe May 2018. Last summer i put a pulley, intake, headers and a corsa sport on it. Absolutely love it!
rsmith137 hell yeah bro✊💯
rsmith137 pretty damn cool!!! I’m an old Jeep guy, but I just love seeing little “stories” like this on comments LOL. Hope everyone is well.
JackOSUrulz lol i’m a young fella with a lexus thats not fast but pretty loud
THANKS JAY,WE LOVE YOUR GARAGE!!!!!!!!
Oh I love the sound of that supercharger and the power all that torque.....I hope it comes in a manual... I can get every inch of that power....that whining sound of a supercharger soooooooo orgasmic😽😻😽.
Drove a 6 speed, total animal, if jay likes it, I like it
That supercharger sounds nice !
I wonder who the first person is going to be to get tired of Jay interrupting them during each sentence.
TheSkylineEffect talkshow host man. his job was to keep conversation going constantly.
TheSkylineEffect never saw him interrupt
TheSkylineEffect lol he does that all the time
+Marto Rambo yo...........dont hate on DBZ................EVER
I really appreciate it that Jay hosts this channel. He really has a passion for cars and the income (and knowledge) to help design his cars. I never saw him interrupt, either, just maybe adding to the conversation. He has an A type personality that is hard to suppress, I guess.
This channel is awesome. I can't believe that it isn't getting 100k+ views per video. Quality stuff, please keep cranking them out I love it!
10 years later...
Love the CTS-V. 9:33 is pretty badass.
i love the sound of a LSA or LS9's cuper charger so much fun to drive!
I can only think of one Hennessy product that's worth buying - the one in a bottle.
Yea... I'm sure you have lots of experience with their cars
😂😂😂
your an idiot or 16 or under
One in the bottle Im gone 😭😭😭
You black?
You pay 20K and the trans is stock, suspension is stock, wheels are stock, brakes are stock, interior is stock, and body is stock...... Just take that in for a moment.... 20K is the price of a decent car.
Hennessey overcharges for everything. You can get a CTS-V to 700 HP for far, far less money than that. Probably less than $5,000.
@@vernonprice5986 where at and can you buy hell cat motor for less as well
"We don't go into the motor but it does have an upgraded camshaft."
Wat.
Maybe somehow they applied it to the outside of the engine. haha
Corey Dabrowski 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I think he means internally
Adam Fears I hear royal purple makes the best blinker fluid
GBody Rob the cam is inside the head. Which is part of the motor.
Corey Dabrowski : That's probably because it came from the factory with an upgraded camshaft.
As i've watched this video through my PC with a speaker set (subwoofer included) and I have noticed something interesting. When there's engine noise from this Cadillac, I felt a faint rumbling through my foot which is in front of the subwoofer. Less of that, I really desire this model. Thanks Jay Leno!
Jay,
You never fail to amaze, one heck of a car, the CTS-V. Now, I want one of those, lol.
I love how they use the Hennessey Camaro to film the Hennessey Cadillac.
"The nicer the car, the better the bong-"
Jay leno
I love that they used the HPE600 Camaro as the camera/chase car.
Jay Leno's an American Treasure. I love his take on the old days whenever referencing the old days of any given car company. It's a pretty cool insight to the 60s and 70s.
I was never too impressed with Jay Leno until I worked with him and I witnessed the man shaking the hand of every person on the crew and thanking them.
Jay is too impatient to let people finish their sentences.... Lol he is funny.
Nice Camaro camera car at 9:49. Jay, it would awesome if you can get one of the new COPO Camaros on your show. The one with the most horsepower, since there are three engine options.
Thank you Jay and John! What an AMAZING car!
I ended up buying a 2017 ATS-V three years ago and I LOVE IT!
I'm always amazed that so many people can replicate what they see on these videos for pennies on the dollar. Sure maybe you can do your own work and port your heads and you have access to a dyno so you can come up with the right valvetrain choices to make the most of that inexpensive pulley set you just bought to spin your blower faster. You can do all of that for yourself for a quarter of the price. Yeah right. Don't you people understand that they guy is able to repeat what he is doing over and over so he can earn a living? It is called business. He makes money providing a service to people who cannot do it for themselves. Why does everyone have to be such haters?
People DIY this stuff all the time. The difference is it's usually a slow car to begin with that they're DIYing so they never see 700hp. This car already had a great deal of power already so the same upgrades do a lot more for it.
well said until you can afford shut your hole
15k for Hennessy name an 5k in upgrades
+14Mustang GT yup!!That's right... too much money for little work done!
@@Tovarizer lol salty
as opposed to huuuh, wait, what is the brand name of the carS you build.
You definitely have to factor in the level of quality that Hennessey provides with their workmanship.
These are kits that are made for dealers to add thousands onto the window sticker. Put an aftermarket "dealer installed" package on the car so we can charge more. You are better off buying something stock and put the money into it to do what you want. You can get a Magnuson supercharger for that CTS-V and @ 12-13psi be making at or close to 1,000 hp with some tuning, cam, exhaust etc. Probably cost you around $10,000-$15,000 all in. Hennessey will sell you a CTS-V with 1,000hp for $160K when the car costs $87K. Are they putting $73,000 worth of upgrades on the car.....Probably not.
**LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CADILLAC HOT ROD!!!**
I think comparing this guy to Shelby is cruel on Shelby. 15k for some simple parts and some badges? Rip off.
I think they both suck. There's plenty of others under the radar doing much better work than Shelby and Hennessey and charging what's fair simply for the love of the car.
Are you alive because I observed you or were you alive previous to your comment just now?
The front part of this car is amazing, but the rest...are bizarre.
Very good performance and price.
I love the Cadillac CTS-V...it is such a sexy looking car.
just love that sound
Always loved the CTS Coupe, just a great looking car.
If you catch Hennessey at the right time he will build that car for a 8 ball.
Nooooo! Lmao! 😂
Croozer I don't get it
Twerk cyrus cocaine
Haha #classic
John-Curtis Cogdell bjk hi bhai nn+need
Nice wheels on the Camaro.
I love the styling of the CTS coupe. Giving it 700 bhp has to add up to a lot of fun!
It's an old video but still fun to watch.
Eddie Bauer!!!! LOL!!!!
Hennessey is a crook and has ripped off his customers many times. Funny how people forget, Do your research and stay away.
Very true! I live in Houston about 45mins away from Sealy where he's located. Dudes a crook 4real! THE negative comments about him are numerous Mann!!!
G Saleen I always wondered what that place was I use to drive to Houston every week and past the shop and always wondered what it was.
@Demo Rcr well this is making me think twice about my ats v upgrade now
Do your research I know those allegations are fake
The sound of that 1.9 supercharger is sweet
His name is Eddie Bauer and he stayed at the King Ranch 😂 😂 😂
I didn't know that Hennessey had such a bad reputation. That's too bad.
"Oooh it's nice to hear the supercharger wind up"- Jay
It’s great to see the American cars with the full package ! 👌🏎
This is the quietest sports car I have ever seen. Its turbine screams like an electric motor. Cadillac's today's cars are like Broadway spectacles on 4 chromed wheels!
Wow. I did research jan 2020. These things are still askin 30 grand for 2011 w/ 80 to 90,000 odometer
Damn.
Yes, Jay, it did under 8 seconds on the Nürburgring :) *giggle*
Leno always rockin that double denim.
OMG Jay Leno says after he gets into the car "Wow some short chubby guy must of been sitting here'
So for $90,000 you have a $200,000 car. Another X amount of dollars and you can make the interior superior too.
Why in gods name do Americans buy foreign cars? Can you imagine what GM could do with a $200,000 price point?
Dollar for dollar I don't think any foreign company can compete with GM, and even if they can GM isn't a sports car company. Imagine if GM only built the Camaro and Corvettes - You would have two cars that nothing in class could touch.
Anthony Clauser you do realize what recently happened to GM and how they showed the world how pathetic of a company they are, there are estimates that hundreds of people have died as a result of malfunctions of GM assembled cars, of coarse GM only admitted to being responsible for 13 of those deaths, and here you are glorifying them. They cannot even assemble a Cobalt like its supposed to, yet you want them to tackle the $200,000 price point, are you out of your freaking mind. American car companies went under in the 70's and 80's and were "known worldwide" for their terrible quality during these years, until recently they were using almost 30 year old technology within their vehicles, no one seems to remember this? I understand that you should be proud of what your country makes, but even I am an American and realize that American cars are leaps and bounds behind the japanese, germans, and english in every aspect. Foreign car makers always had finesse and their cars all had pedigrees and all sort of seemed like the last. American cars completely differ from one generation to the next, you can hardly recognize them and thats because Americans dont build cars with honor like the japanese, they simply try to sell the most..Nothing matches up, everything rattles, no fine tuned engine sounds just brutal Harley Davidson exhaust notes...I like to think that I know more then the average person about cars and cannot concede why anyone in their rightful mind would take their hard earned money and spend it on an American brand of car, yea you can buy a giant sail boat suburban or even a 350 dually but when are you seriously going to be using it for its purpose. Everytime i see one and look over, all I see is a single person inside one of those warehouses. Such pointless, useless, wasteful material, just how us Americans love them, the bigger the better...
That entire wall of text to say you have no idea what you are telling about? Congratulations.
joe C You are a moron. Just because you see a single person driving an SUV or truck at one point in time you just assume they have it for no legitimate purpose? I drive an extended GM suv and oftentimes I'm the only one inside it, but I use it 5 days out of the week for my business, hauling tons of merchandise and equipment around. You don't know what someone is using their vehicle for in the full scope of their ownership - only the split second you see them and you judge off that? On top of that everything you've said is presumptive, oversimplified and generalized nonsense, much like your sweeping judgment of truck owners. Like Anthony said, you have no clue what you're talking about.
What is the equivalent of Fox News bashing in Europe?
***** Range Rover... Who brags about driving a Range Rover? BMW fooled Ford into buying it, and Ford sold it off for pennies on the dollar.
Can you let the man finish a sentence jay? MAYBE CAN YOU MAYBE?!?
I know he cuts everyone off
Haha. Thinking the same thing. Let the guy talk, please.
Yes he always does that but this particular video is extremely bad about cutting this gentleman off
There's nothing like a CTS!!!!!!!!!!! Loved them. I just got one. Sexiest sedan of our time. Panty dropper..
I love it when a car reminds jay of the landlord coming to pick up the rent
Can I install it myself and save $15,000?
+Mark Batarina An intake, smaller pulley, and a tune can net you 700Hp
+Mark Batarina Your paying for the stupid name hennessey! 20,000 for a couple pully's, camshafts, exhaust, 88 cent decals and a tune! WTF?? that is a dam scam! makes me sick!
he said they port and polish the heads along with the other stuff you mentioned...just that job alone costs quite a bit
Hennessey probably does $3000 to $5000 worth of work from a good reputable performance shop.
Enthused no, no not at all. You’re paying for a high resale value, a warranty, and a guarantee job that’s done right. I could guarantee you that if you had a Hennessy vehicle (any model) and you try to sell it, you’ll have dozens of inquiries within a day.
I got the V6 3.6 coupe it's a beast.
burned a porch cayenne and mazaratti.
one more thing it not a car it a spaceship ;)
love Cadillac love American Cars
That sounds amazing on take off!
9:36 Omfg !! The growl !!
I wish it had a hatchback rather than a normal trunk.
20K for an extra 140hp ??
Hennessy if a fucking crock.
You have to realize from the factory, ther 556 hp is at the crank but now its 707 to the wheel
not everybody can or want to afford a professional mod, so why knock it?
just got back from germany and id say %80 of their cars are turbo and just as fast. however they get better fuel mileage and last much longer
Oh, you've done tests on how long CTS-Vs last? Can you post the scientific findings here so we can go over them? Go look at JD Power and tell me where Cadillac is compared to Mercedes BMW and Audi. And no, 80% of German cars are not faster than the CTS-V. The CTS-V runs high 11s, are you saying 80% of all German cars run high 11s? Because if you are you may want to punch yourself in the face for being an idiot.
Car sounds absolutely brilliant
LOL...LISTEN TO HER SCREEEEEEAM!!!
This is my car very sexy!!!
love that sound
Love the vintage RC sign.
GM doesn't need to be compared to European cars, in fact its kind of an insult. It's like saying the older brother looks like the younger brother. It's the other way around. GM isn't like the European cars, the European cars are like GM. Just like Android isn't like an Apple, Apple copies Android.
+Matt Kay Apple Copied the android? Didn't Apple create the the iPhone that all smartphones are designed after?
***** I will admit the time from about the 80's to the late 2000's was not great for GM, but they are back way better. Well, GM is right up there in engineering, design, materials used, its just done in a different way. Ride quality? Several European manufactures have started using GM's magnetic ride because it is so much more advanced than anything they have. In my opinion, European cars are more at the extremes, you can buy an extremely great car, or something that is a flop. In America, I see the cars as being much more consistent, that you may not always get something spectacular, but you will always get something good/satisfactory, and never something that is total garbage. There are always exceptions.
Matt Kay Apple does not copy Andriod
I get your point but Apple copies Android? I would believe it if the first iPhone didn't come out a year and a half before the first android.
What a waste of money, there is a lot more options out there that you can buy for less than $90,000 dollars instead of an automatic Cadillac with a supercharger .
I absolutely love the CTS Coupe and it's one of the world's most disgusted looking cars ever made I think its a beautiful car and holds it's own with anyone style in the world past present or future
Used CTS's are a steal. That "Cadillac" stereotype has most stuck in the past. And passed they'll get by these Michigan muscle cars.
Why doesn't Jay stop comparing American cars do European cars. European cars are not the best cars made, and they are far overpriced!
Yeah, above I said its sad when an American says "I"m glad to see Cadillac become a truly European Car", what is so wrong with a car being American or being an American??
We have Chevrolets made in our country. Rock solid. They are built like Rolls-Royce and they still roll. That was a time when a Chevy was considered more exclusive and superior to a Mercedes Benz. Yep, those times are looooong gone.
Anyone who owned a lot of 70’s thru 90’s American cars thinks this way. I’m not American, but my father was a Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac salesman... so I have a soft spot for them. But tough to deny they made heaps of crap, and are only now starting to dig their way out.
Two guys talking over each other is really irratating...thats how arguments start lol ..nice car though
Camera crew’s vehicle had a fun time keeping up with this caddy 😆👍🏻
9:34 Wow, look at those two old guys in a Cadillac...Vroooooom! What a boss move.
American autos are manufactured far better and beefier than European autos. There's nothing exotic about a Mercedes!
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, I'm an American car, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, the door is open, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, the key is in the ignition, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, fasten your seatbelt, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding, ding...
That's fucking annoying!! Why would anybody need that in a car? It drives me maaaad.
Try the simple cafe life in the U.S. Sitting outside on a nice day. Then this truck starts backing into a parking place. How about making that backing up alarm more directional? Is it going to save some dog's or little kid's life? We get it. Big truck. Backing up. And while we're on the subject, how about car alarms that only alert the driver via their cell phone?
Man I would love to spend a week at Jay Leno's Garage.
Great Job Jay! Love that Cadi.
Engine is untouched, and the package is $20,000? No thanks
he said the heads were reworked and a larger cam.
tony rishkofski Still not enough to justify the 20k price tag.
thatabu A port and polish anywhere will be very expensive to have a shop do it. Unless you're doing labour yourself, you might as well forget it. As with any engine work.
TheDudeAr Some here have estimated that the parts themselves cost about $700. Are you telling me the labor costs another $19,300?
No no, i'm just saying that for any job to be done by a shop, expect a much higher price than the parts themselves. Think of a head gasket job, A head gasket is 40 bucks, when in the end the cost would be around 2 grand, because of the time it takes to do such a job. Sometimes around 10 hours. What I am NOT saying is it is worth it, what I am saying is if you want a good price you have to do it yourself.
lol, All these people going "Oh this is such a scam this is that that is this what a waste 20k for an upgrade and a pully!" Lol, Bud, Hennessey makes the worlds fastest car, They know how to properly supply a car with power. Normal people don't go to Hennessey for a slight upgrade like this. But if you want a seriously upgraded car by people that know what they are doing and do it well, you go to these guys. Come on, use your brain.
What a lot of the critics don't acknowledge is that there is a very significant cost for the engineering to make all those upgrades work smoothly together. Theoretically, any kid with a pocket full of green backs can slap on a huge blower and get just as much power... for a short while! If you want reliability and a factory warranty, you certainly won't find it in your garage. If the peace of mind that usually goes with a valid warranty and a well engineered product don't matter, the $5K "in-the-garage-job" is definitely the way to go.
I love the CTS-V wagon. Sadly, I think I'm the only one and they're killing it off.
Sounds very nice! Wish I could have one!
To me, the high doors and the low roof look awful. Just seeing the driver's head is weird.
At first I liked it then I didn't. But okay, to each their own.
I bet that caddy does get 10 miles per gallon hwy! If it does, I'm surprised and I stand corrected...
9:11 "the nicer the car, the better the bong" XD
that car sounds killer!!!
