Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic vs Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 is the quicker car, covering it in 12.59 s at 108.4 mph against the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic’s 13.15 s — a margin of 0.55 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 takes 4.12 s and the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic 4.54 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic or the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 faster?
The Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.59 s to the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic's 13.15 s, a margin of 0.55 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.12 s against 4.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.15 s at 103.0 mph.
What is the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 reaches 60 mph in 4.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.59 s at 108.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic trips the lights at 103.0 mph and the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408 at 108.4 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 — 10 of 10 for the Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic and 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-AMG C43 2.0 4MATIC 408. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
