About the E43 AMG (W213) 3.0 V6 4MATIC 401

The 2016 Mercedes-AMG E43 AMG (W213) 3.0 V6 4MATIC 401 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,765 kg with 396 bhp, which works out at 224 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.85 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,183rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 42nd quickest of the 63 Mercedes-AMGs here. Its 108.4 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 Mercedes-AMG E43 AMG (W213) 3.0 V6 4MATIC 401 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 Mercedes-AMG E43 AMG (W213) 3.0 V6 4MATIC 401 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.
