The Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 reaches 60 mph in 7.05 s (100 km/h in 7.45 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.50 s, tripping the lights at 92.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.63 s and the eighth mile in 10.09 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250
The 1998 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 2,010 kg with 247 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 2.63 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,758th quickest to 60 mph, and the 619th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 92.1 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.

Questions
What is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 reaches 60 mph in 7.05 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,758th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 quarter mile time?
15.50 s at 92.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.09 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.63 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 have?
247 bhp and 2,010 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250?
Closest here on pace: BMW 3 Series Sedan (E46) 330d 184 (7.03 s), Cadillac CTS 3.2 V6 215 (7.00 s), BMW 3 Series (E46) 330d 184 (7.03 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 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 (W220) 400 CDI Lang 250 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.
