Questions

Is the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 or the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS faster?
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.13 s to the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180's 16.72 s, a margin of 3.58 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.55 s against 8.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 0-60 time?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.72 s at 81.1 mph.
What is the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS reaches 60 mph in 4.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.13 s at 104.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 trips the lights at 81.1 mph and the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS at 104.2 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 and 9 of 10 for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
