Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 8.62 s for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. At this point, the P7 leads by 2.04 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 115 km/h for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. The gap is 1.16 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 16.48 s. The 1.67 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the P7 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 30.31 s, with a 2.67 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 160 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.59 kg/hp vs 10.57 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.70 seconds. The 2.04 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.
