Off the line, the RS e-tron GT hits 100 km/h in 3.33 s versus 6.08 s for the Bmw i4 eDrive35. At this point, the RS e-tron GT leads by 2.75 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the RS e-tron GT is doing 163 km/h against 131 km/h for the Bmw i4 eDrive35. The gap is 2.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the RS e-tron GT crosses the line in 11.31 s versus 14.38 s. The 3.07 s gap represents roughly 130 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the RS e-tron GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 179 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the RS e-tron GT finishes in 20.60 s versus 26.26 s, with a 5.66 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the RS e-tron GT is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw i4 eDrive35 at 190 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 (3.57 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.27 seconds. The 2.75 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.
