About the SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,460 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 106 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 106 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.38 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,176th quickest to 60 mph, and the 663rd quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 88.8 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 SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto reaches 60 mph in 7.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,176th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto quarter mile time?
15.63 s at 88.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.04 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto have?
154 bhp and 1,460 kg, which is 106 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 9 gears and a quoted top speed of 224 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto?
Closest here on pace: MINI Coupe Cooper SD 2.0 143 (7.36 s), Maserati Merak 3.0 V6 190 (7.18 s), Mazda MX-5 / Miata 1.5 Skyactiv-G 131 (7.35 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto 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 SLC-Class (R172) 180 156 Auto 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.
