About the GLC 63 S X253

The 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,935 kg with 503 bhp, which works out at 260 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.77 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 477th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 8th quickest of the 63 Mercedes-AMGs here. Its 116.1 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 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 reaches 60 mph in 3.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 477th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 quarter mile time?
11.75 s at 116.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.52 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 have?
503 bhp and 1,935 kg, which is 260 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253?
Closest here on pace: Porsche Cayenne Turbo Mk III (3.32 s), Bentley Bentayga V8 Speed (3.28 s), Bentley Bentayga Speed (3.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S X253 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 GLC 63 S X253 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.
