About the G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,400 kg with 292 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.51 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 4,265th quickest to 60 mph, and the 547th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 90.4 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 0-60 time?

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,265th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 quarter mile time?

15.30 s at 90.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.85 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 have?

292 bhp and 2,400 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296?

Closest here on pace: BMW 520d (G30) (6.77 s), Lancia Thema 2.0 Turbo 150 (6.70 s), Jaguar XF (X250) 2.0 200 (6.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 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 G-Class 5-door 500 V8 296 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.
