Off the line, the A290 GT 160kW hits 100 km/h in 6.36 s versus 6.58 s for the P7. The 0.22 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the A290 GT 160kW is doing 129 km/h against 127 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A290 GT 160kW crosses the line in 14.65 s versus 14.81 s. The 0.16 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A290 GT 160kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A290 GT 160kW finishes in 26.75 s versus 27.64 s, with a 0.89 s lead.
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the P7 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.59 kg/hp vs 6.78 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.18 seconds. The 0.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
