Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift

The Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift reaches 60 mph in 4.65 s (100 km/h in 4.88 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.15 s, tripping the lights at 106.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s and the eighth mile in 8.50 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.43 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 C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,746 kg with 329 bhp, which works out at 188 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.07 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 1,789th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 221st quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 106.0 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.15 s at 106.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift have?
329 bhp and 1,746 kg, which is 188 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-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X SE (4.65 s), Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2.5 Turbo 300 (4.69 s), Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI GSR Tommi Makinen Edition (4.67 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift 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-Benz C 400 4MATIC W205 Pre Facelift 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
