About the 62 (V240) 5.5 V12 550

The 2002 Maybach 62 (V240) 5.5 V12 550 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,780 kg with 543 bhp, which works out at 195 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 195 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 1,956th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 8th quickest of the 8 Maybachs here. Its 105.0 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.

Each one can be raced against the Maybach 62 (V240) 5.5 V12 550 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 Maybach 62 (V240) 5.5 V12 550 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.
