Pontiac G8 GXP

The Pontiac G8 GXP reaches 60 mph in 4.68 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.99 s, tripping the lights at 110.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.02 s and the eighth mile in 8.47 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.91 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 G8 GXP

The 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,828 kg with 414 bhp, which works out at 227 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 227 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.02 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,210th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 11 Pontiacs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 110.8 mph, the 981st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 7 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 Pontiac G8 GXP 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.
