How many seconds does the C63 take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the Mercedes-Benz C63 is available in two engine displacements: 3.0T and 4.0T. The 3.0T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, while the 4.0T model does it in 4.1 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the BMW 320i has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz C63 3.0T model has a torque of 520 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Mercedes-Benz C63 is equipped with an automatic manual transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For instance, the BMW 320i has a power-to-weight ratio of 106 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz C63 has a power-to-weight ratio of 211 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.
When it comes to the 0-100 km/h acceleration of the Mercedes-AMG C63, I have to mention my experience driving the W205 model on the track last time. It can reach 100 km/h in about 4.1 seconds, which is the standard speed for the base version, while the S version is slightly faster at just over 3.9 seconds. Driving it is incredibly thrilling—the moment the engine roars, you can feel the thrust, thanks to the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that delivers super-responsive performance. But honestly, driving this car in the city requires extra caution. The horsepower is so strong that the rear wheels can easily lose traction, especially on wet roads during rainy days. I’d recommend beginners to try turning off the sport mode first. Also, for daily maintenance, pay attention to oil changes, as the upkeep costs for such high-performance cars are relatively high. Don’t just focus on the exhilarating acceleration and neglect regular check-ups.
