Mercedes-Benz W17

The Mercedes-Benz W17 reaches 60 mph in 2.41 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 8.83 s, tripping the lights at 181.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.60 s and the eighth mile in 6.06 s, reaching 100 mph in 4.20 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 W17

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz W17 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 772 kg with 1,038 bhp, which works out at 1,344 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 1,344 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.60 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 52nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the quickest of the 254 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 181.7 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 8 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

How much power does the Mercedes-Benz W17 have?
1,038 bhp and 772 kg, which is 1,344 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 347 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz W17?
Closest here on pace: Mclaren MCL39 (2.22 s), Porsche 917/10 Spyder (1.82 s), Isotta Fraschini Tipo 6 LMH Strada (2.49 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz W17 in the panel at the top of this page.
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 W17 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
