Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221

The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 reaches 60 mph in 4.49 s (100 km/h in 4.70 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.79 s, tripping the lights at 110.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.94 s and the eighth mile in 8.28 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.27 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 S63 AMG W221

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,070 kg with 518 bhp, which works out at 250 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 250 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.94 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,653rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 201st quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 110.0 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 reaches 60 mph in 4.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,653rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 quarter mile time?
12.79 s at 110.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 have?
518 bhp and 2,070 kg, which is 250 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 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 S63 AMG W221?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac XLR-V (4.50 s), Panoz Esperante GT 4.6 V8 305 (4.42 s), Jaguar XJR (2010) (4.55 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 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 S63 AMG W221 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
