Off the line, the Stelvio Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.76 s versus 7.37 s for the 120d. At this point, the Stelvio Veloce leads by 1.61 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Stelvio Veloce is doing 129 km/h against 121 km/h for the 120d. The gap is 1.02 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Stelvio Veloce crosses the line in 14.12 s versus 15.45 s. The 1.33 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Stelvio Veloce continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 167 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Stelvio Veloce finishes in 26.01 s versus 28.02 s, with a 2.01 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 230 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Stelvio Veloce and the 120d are governed to 230 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.59 kg/hp vs 7.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.63 seconds. The 1.61 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Stelvio Veloce wins (5,76 s vs 7,37 s).
Stelvio Veloce goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,76 seconds (calibrated simulation).
