Brabus C V8

The Brabus C V8 reaches 60 mph in 5.31 s (100 km/h in 5.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.53 s, tripping the lights at 106.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.20 s and the eighth mile in 8.83 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.01 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 C V8

The 1995 Brabus C V8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,605 kg with 402 bhp, which works out at 251 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 251 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.20 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,488th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 24th quickest of the 24 Brabuss here. Its 106.7 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Brabus C V8 0-60 time?
The Brabus C V8 reaches 60 mph in 5.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,488th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Brabus C V8 quarter mile time?
13.53 s at 106.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Brabus C V8 have?
402 bhp and 1,605 kg, which is 251 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 270 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Brabus C V8?
Closest here on pace: AC Ace 5.0 V8 (5.28 s), Holden Commodore GTS-R VT II (5.23 s), Peugeot 308 GTi 1.6 THP 272 (5.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Brabus C V8 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 Brabus C V8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
