The Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235 reaches 60 mph in 7.04 s (100 km/h in 7.45 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.33 s, tripping the lights at 91.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.88 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and
drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures.

About the S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235
The 2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,955 kg with 232 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 119 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.35 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,749th quickest to 60 mph, and the 616th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 91.3 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.

Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235 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 (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235 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.
