About the R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268

The 2005 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,185 kg with 268 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 123 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.44 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,200th quickest to 60 mph, and the 671st quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 90.0 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 reaches 60 mph in 7.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,200th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 quarter mile time?
15.60 s at 90.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.07 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.44 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 have?
268 bhp and 2,185 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 233 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268?
Closest here on pace: Volvo XC90 2.0 T5 254 (7.33 s), Jeep Renegade 2.4 MultiAir 183 (7.33 s), Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 Si4 240 (7.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 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 R-Class Lang (W251) 350 V6 268 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.
