Questions

Is the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG or the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.98 s to the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG's 12.33 s, a margin of 0.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.74 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 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 reaches 60 mph in 3.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.98 s at 116.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trips the lights at 116.7 mph and the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557 at 116.4 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-Benz E63 AMG and 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG 5.5 V8 557. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
