Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200

The Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 reaches 60 mph in 8.15 s (100 km/h in 8.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.39 s, tripping the lights at 89.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.90 s and the eighth mile in 10.87 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 Catera 3.0 V6 200

The 1997 Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,710 kg with 200 bhp, which works out at 117 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 117 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.90 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,794th quickest to 60 mph, and the 55th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 89.5 mph, the 5,341st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 0-60 time?
The Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 reaches 60 mph in 8.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,794th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 quarter mile time?
16.39 s at 89.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.87 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.90 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 have?
200 bhp and 1,710 kg, which is 117 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 201 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200?
Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Malibu ECO 2.4 Ecotec DOHC Hybrid (8.13 s), Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 (8.18 s), Ford Focus Sedan 1.5 EcoBoost 150 (8.14 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 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 Catera 3.0 V6 200 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.
