Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300

The Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 reaches 60 mph in 6.35 s (100 km/h in 6.66 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.78 s, tripping the lights at 99.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s and the eighth mile in 9.79 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 Marauder 4.6 V8 300

The 2003 Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,850 kg with 295 bhp, which works out at 159 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 159 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.66 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,695th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 10 Mercurys here. Its 99.4 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 Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 0-60 time?
The Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 reaches 60 mph in 6.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,695th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 quarter mile time?
14.78 s at 99.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 have?
295 bhp and 1,850 kg, which is 159 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Continental R (6.33 s), Cadillac Seville 4.6 V8 300 (6.35 s), Saab 9-5 2.8T XWD (6.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 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 Mercury Marauder 4.6 V8 300 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.
