Off the line, the Stelvio Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.76 s versus 6.55 s for the Bmw 525d. At this point, the Stelvio Veloce leads by 0.79 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Stelvio Veloce is doing 129 km/h against 129 km/h for the Bmw 525d. The gap is 0.63 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Stelvio Veloce crosses the line in 14.12 s versus 14.73 s. The 0.61 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Stelvio Veloce maxes out at 230 km/h while the Bmw 525d keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.56 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Stelvio Veloce finishes in 26.01 s versus 26.39 s, with just 0.38 s to spare. The Bmw 525d fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Stelvio Veloce is capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw 525d at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.59 kg/hp vs 6.90 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.96 seconds. The 0.79 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 6,55 s).
Stelvio Veloce goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,76 seconds (calibrated simulation).
