About the CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,870 kg with 550 bhp, which works out at 294 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 294 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.88 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 840th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 56th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 116.4 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.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 reaches 60 mph in 3.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 840th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 quarter mile time?
11.98 s at 116.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 have?
550 bhp and 1,870 kg, which is 294 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 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-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557?
Closest here on pace: Pagani Zonda C12 (3.78 s), Mercedes-AMG S 65 L (V222) 6.0 V12 630 (3.76 s), Aston Martin Rapide AMR 6.0 V12 603 (3.85 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 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 CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 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.
