Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6

The Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 reaches 60 mph in 6.03 s (100 km/h in 6.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.51 s, tripping the lights at 97.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s and the eighth mile in 9.47 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 CTS 3.6 V6

The 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,798 kg with 307 bhp, which works out at 171 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 171 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.42 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,286th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 22nd quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 97.9 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 0-60 time?
The Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 reaches 60 mph in 6.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,286th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 quarter mile time?
14.51 s at 97.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 have?
307 bhp and 1,798 kg, which is 171 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 241 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti Q70 3.0d V6 235 (6.05 s), Infiniti QX50 3.7 V6 325 (6.01 s), Lexus LS 600H L (6.03 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 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 CTS 3.6 V6 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
