Pontiac G8 GT

The Pontiac G8 GT reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s (100 km/h in 4.78 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.05 s, tripping the lights at 108.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s and the eighth mile in 8.50 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.93 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 G8 GT

The 2008 Pontiac G8 GT is a rear-drive electric saloon of 1,777 kg with 361 bhp, which works out at 203 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 108.9 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,694th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 108.9 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 5 of 7 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 Pontiac G8 GT 0-60 time?
The Pontiac G8 GT reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,694th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac G8 GT quarter mile time?
13.05 s at 108.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac G8 GT have?
361 bhp and 1,777 kg, which is 203 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 226 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac G8 GT?
Closest here on pace: Audi S4 B8 (2009) (4.54 s), Holden Commodore Sedan 6.0 V8 367 (4.50 s), Jaguar XE-S (4.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac G8 GT 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 Pontiac G8 GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 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.
