Off the line, the Bmw M4 Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.14 s for the e-tron GT quattro. Despite lacking instant torque, 510 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw M4 Competition leads by 0.31 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition is doing 163 km/h against 149 km/h for the e-tron GT quattro. The gap is 0.36 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Competition crosses the line in 11.61 s versus 12.36 s. The 0.75 s gap represents roughly 38 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition finishes in 20.89 s versus 22.46 s, with a 1.57 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (245 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the e-tron GT quattro is capped at 245 km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition 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.
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 6.28 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
