Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 vs Jaguar XJ 3.0 340

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 is the quicker car, covering it in 14.26 s at 100.2 mph against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204’s 15.15 s — a margin of 0.89 s. To 60 mph the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 takes 5.78 s and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 6.77 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 E-Class E 200 204 or the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 faster?
The Jaguar XJ 3.0 340. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.26 s to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204's 15.15 s, a margin of 0.89 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.78 s against 6.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.15 s at 92.5 mph.
What is the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 reaches 60 mph in 5.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.26 s at 100.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 trips the lights at 92.5 mph and the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340 at 100.2 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 and 2 of 2 for the Jaguar XJ 3.0 340. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
