About the E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,045 kg with 429 bhp, which works out at 210 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 1,102nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 40th quickest of the 63 Mercedes-AMGs here. Its 109.7 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 reaches 60 mph in 4.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,102nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 quarter mile time?
12.47 s at 109.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 have?
429 bhp and 2,045 kg, which is 210 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 9 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 S 528 (4.01 s), Audi S5 B10 (3.98 s), Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid Mk III (3.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-AMG E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 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 E53 3.0 4MATIC+ 435 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.
