Cadillac STS 3.6 V6

The Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 reaches 60 mph in 7.55 s (100 km/h in 7.85 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.63 s, tripping the lights at 96.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s and the eighth mile in 10.51 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the STS 3.6 V6

The 2008 Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,806 kg with 302 bhp, which works out at 167 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 167 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.78 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,665th quickest to 60 mph, and the 50th quickest of the 65 Cadillacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 96.9 mph, the 3,288th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 0-60 time?
The Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 reaches 60 mph in 7.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,665th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 quarter mile time?
15.63 s at 96.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 have?
302 bhp and 1,806 kg, which is 167 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 231 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Cadillac STS 3.6 V6?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti I30/I35 3.5 V6 258 (7.47 s), Maserati Kyalami (7.43 s), Infiniti I30/I35 3.0 V6 227 (7.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Cadillac STS 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 STS 3.6 V6 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 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.
