Cadillac CTS-V Mk III

The Cadillac CTS-V Mk III reaches 60 mph in 3.68 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.70 s, tripping the lights at 125.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.91 s and the eighth mile in 7.67 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.17 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 III

The 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Mk III is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,884 kg with 640 bhp, which works out at 340 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 340 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.91 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 613th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 4th quickest of the 24 Cadillacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 125.3 mph, the 338th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 III is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.
