Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185

The Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s (100 km/h in 8.13 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.08 s, tripping the lights at 86.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.67 s and the eighth mile in 10.41 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 Torrent 3.4 V6 185

The 2005 Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,660 kg with 185 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.67 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 5,897th quickest to 60 mph, and the 14th quickest of the 26 Pontiacs here. Its 86.8 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 Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 0-60 time?
The Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,897th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 quarter mile time?
16.08 s at 86.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.67 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 have?
185 bhp and 1,660 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Ateca 1.4 TSI 150 (7.70 s), Lexus GX 470 V8 235 (7.67 s), Mazda CX-60 Skyactiv-D 200 (7.72 s). Each one can be raced against the Pontiac Torrent 3.4 V6 185 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 Torrent 3.4 V6 185 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.

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.
