Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo vs Model Y Long Range RWD: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 5.22 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 340 hp of power compensates. The 0.15 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo is doing 136 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 13.90 s. The 0.39 s gap represents roughly 17 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 189 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo finishes in 24.61 s versus 26.20 s, with a 1.59 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
The Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model Y Long Range RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo is capped at 250 km/h, the Model Y Long Range RWD at 217 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 8.80 seconds. The 0.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo and Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
