Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166

The Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 reaches 60 mph in 4.80 s (100 km/h in 5.01 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.09 s, tripping the lights at 108.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s and the eighth mile in 8.51 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.90 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 GL 63 X166

The 2012 Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,500 kg with 550 bhp, which works out at 220 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.01 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 1,957th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 59th quickest of the 63 Mercedes-AMGs here. Its 108.3 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 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 reaches 60 mph in 4.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,957th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 quarter mile time?
13.09 s at 108.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 have?
550 bhp and 2,500 kg, which is 220 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166?
Closest here on pace: Holden Monaro 5.7 V8 387 (4.89 s), Bentley Continental Flying Spur Mk I (4.73 s), Maybach 57 (4.73 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-AMG GL 63 X166 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 GL 63 X166 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
