Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 reaches 60 mph in 4.31 s (100 km/h in 4.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.70 s, tripping the lights at 109.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s and the eighth mile in 8.20 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.30 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the S-Class S500 455

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 is a rear-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,995 kg with 449 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 1.98 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,419th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 166th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 109.5 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 S-Class S500 455 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 reaches 60 mph in 4.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,419th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 quarter mile time?
12.70 s at 109.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.20 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 have?
449 bhp and 1,995 kg, which is 225 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 S-Class S500 455?
Closest here on pace: Audi S6 (2012) (4.31 s), Rolls-Royce Ghost 6.75 V12 571 (4.29 s), Rolls-Royce Ghost 6.75 V12 EWB 571 (4.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 455 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 S-Class S500 455 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.
