Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255

The Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s (100 km/h in 7.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.18 s, tripping the lights at 93.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s and the eighth mile in 9.87 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the BLS 2.8 V6 255

The 2006 Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,585 kg with 252 bhp, which works out at 159 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.48 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,272nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 38th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 93.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 0-60 time?
The Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,272nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 quarter mile time?
15.18 s at 93.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.87 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 have?
252 bhp and 1,585 kg, which is 159 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255?
Closest here on pace: Buick Regal 2.0 Turbo 259 (6.67 s), Mercury Milan 3.0 DOHC 240 (6.69 s), Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 (6.79 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Cadillac BLS 2.8 V6 255 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
