Off the line, the 630i Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 6.27 s versus 8.36 s for the 9 E-Tense 250. Despite lacking instant torque, 258 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 630i Gran Turismo leads by 2.09 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the 9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 630i Gran Turismo crosses the line in 14.49 s versus 16.22 s. The 1.73 s gap represents roughly 71 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo finishes in 26.40 s versus 28.57 s, with a 2.17 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 630i Gran Turismo 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.
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 12.32 seconds. The 2.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 630i Gran Turismo G32 wins (6,27 s vs 8,36 s).
630i Gran Turismo G32 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,27 seconds (calibrated simulation).
