Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275

The Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s (100 km/h in 7.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.06 s, tripping the lights at 88.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.50 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 DTS 4.6 V8 275

The 2005 Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,818 kg with 275 bhp, which works out at 151 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,621st quickest to 60 mph, and the 48th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. Its 88.4 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 0-60 time?
The Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,621st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 quarter mile time?
16.06 s at 88.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 have?
275 bhp and 1,818 kg, which is 151 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 (7.53 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 T Aero 230 (7.52 s), Infiniti I30/I35 3.0 V6 227 (7.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 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 DTS 4.6 V8 275 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.
