Cadillac CTS-V Mk II

The Cadillac CTS-V Mk II reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s (100 km/h in 4.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.29 s, tripping the lights at 117.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s and the eighth mile in 8.01 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.31 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 II

The 2009 Cadillac CTS-V Mk II is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,980 kg with 557 bhp, which works out at 281 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 281 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.00 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,035th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 6th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 117.9 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 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Cadillac CTS-V Mk II 0-60 time?
The Cadillac CTS-V Mk II reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,035th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac CTS-V Mk II quarter mile time?
12.29 s at 117.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.01 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac CTS-V Mk II have?
557 bhp and 1,980 kg, which is 281 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 308 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac CTS-V Mk II?
Closest here on pace: BMW M3 G80 (3.96 s), Aston Martin Rapide S 2014 (4.00 s), Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (4.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac CTS-V Mk II 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 II is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
