About the R-Class Long (W251) 320 4MATIC 272

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Long (W251) 320 4MATIC 272 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 2,408 kg with 268 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.17 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 4,637th quickest to 60 mph, and the 591st quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 89.2 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.

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 Long (W251) 320 4MATIC 272 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.
