Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 6.81 s for the Bmw i3s (120 Ah). Despite lacking instant torque, 280 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Giulia Veloce leads by 1.55 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 124 km/h for the Bmw i3s (120 Ah). The gap is 1.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Veloce crosses the line in 13.56 s versus 15.05 s. The 1.49 s gap represents roughly 61 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Giulia Veloce continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Giulia Veloce finishes in 24.89 s versus 28.59 s, with a 3.70 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Giulia Veloce is capped at 240 km/h, the Bmw i3s (120 Ah) at 160 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.76 seconds. The 1.55 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
