Pontiac G8 GT

The Pontiac G8 GT reaches 60 mph in 4.54 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,132nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 11 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.

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.
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.
What cars are comparable to the Pontiac G8 GT?
Closest here on pace: Audi S4 B8 (4.54 s), Infiniti Q60 3.0t (4.53 s), Maybach 57 (4.73 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac G8 GT in the panel at the top of this page.
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.
