About the E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,715 kg with 386 bhp, which works out at 225 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 225 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.03 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,995th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 254th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 103.1 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 reaches 60 mph in 4.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,995th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 quarter mile time?
13.36 s at 103.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.03 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 have?
386 bhp and 1,715 kg, which is 225 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, 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 E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388?
Closest here on pace: Alpina B7s Turbo Coupe (4.84 s), Nissan 370Z Coupe 3.7 V6 333 (4.79 s), Lotus Elise 1.8 R 192 (4.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 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 E-Class Coupe (C 207) 500 388 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.
