Off the line, the RS Q8 SUV hits 100 km/h in 3.87 s versus 4.74 s for the Bmw X7 M50i. At this point, the RS Q8 SUV leads by 0.87 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the RS Q8 SUV is doing 156 km/h against 144 km/h for the Bmw X7 M50i. The gap is 0.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the RS Q8 SUV crosses the line in 11.88 s versus 12.92 s. The 1.05 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the RS Q8 SUV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 217 km/h versus 201 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the RS Q8 SUV finishes in 21.56 s versus 23.38 s, with a 1.82 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the RS Q8 SUV and the Bmw X7 M50i are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.86 kg/hp vs 4.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.08 seconds. The 0.87 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.
