Questions

Is the Porsche Macan 265 PS or the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.29 s to the Porsche Macan 265 PS's 14.15 s, a margin of 0.87 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.75 s against 5.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Porsche Macan 265 PS 0-60 time?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 95.4 mph.
What is the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435 reaches 60 mph in 4.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.29 s at 102.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS trips the lights at 95.4 mph and the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435 at 102.8 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS and 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 500 4MATIC 435. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
