Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG vs BMW M5 Competition F90

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BMW M5 Competition F90 is the quicker car, covering it in 10.87 s at 126.3 mph against the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG’s 12.33 s — a margin of 1.46 s. To 60 mph the BMW M5 Competition F90 takes 2.75 s and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 3.92 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 E63 AMG or the BMW M5 Competition F90 faster?
The BMW M5 Competition F90. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.87 s to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG's 12.33 s, a margin of 1.46 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.75 s against 3.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG reaches 60 mph in 3.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.33 s at 116.7 mph.
What is the BMW M5 Competition F90 0-60 time?
The BMW M5 Competition F90 reaches 60 mph in 2.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.87 s at 126.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trips the lights at 116.7 mph and the BMW M5 Competition F90 at 126.3 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-Benz E63 AMG and 9 of 11 for the BMW M5 Competition F90. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
