Cadillac CTS-V MK I

The Cadillac CTS-V MK I reaches 60 mph in 4.59 s (100 km/h in 4.80 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.83 s, tripping the lights at 108.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s and the eighth mile in 8.31 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.48 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-V MK I

The 2005 Cadillac CTS-V MK I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,704 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 235 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 235 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.99 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,733rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 11th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 108.7 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac CTS-V MK I 0-60 time?
The Cadillac CTS-V MK I reaches 60 mph in 4.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,733rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac CTS-V MK I quarter mile time?
12.83 s at 108.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.31 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac CTS-V MK I have?
400 bhp and 1,704 kg, which is 235 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 266 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac CTS-V MK I?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 X156 360 PS (4.58 s), Audi RS4 B7 (4.54 s), Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII FQ-340 MR (4.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac CTS-V MK I 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-V MK I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.
