Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe vs Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe is the quicker car, covering it in 12.55 s at 114.5 mph against the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221’s 12.79 s — a margin of 0.24 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe takes 4.17 s and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 4.49 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-Benz C63 AMG Coupe or the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.55 s to the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221's 12.79 s, a margin of 0.24 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.17 s against 4.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe reaches 60 mph in 4.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.55 s at 114.5 mph.
What is the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 reaches 60 mph in 4.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.79 s at 110.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe trips the lights at 114.5 mph and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221 at 110.0 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 — 9 of 10 for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe and 9 of 10 for the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG W221. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
