Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 is the quicker car, covering it in 15.15 s at 92.5 mph against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65’s 22.26 s — a margin of 7.12 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 takes 6.77 s and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65 19.04 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.15 s to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65's 22.26 s, a margin of 7.12 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s against 19.04 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65 reaches 60 mph in 19.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 22.26 s at 64.6 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65 at 64.6 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Ponton (W120/W121) 180 a 65. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
