Off the line, the 640i Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 5.49 s versus 6.05 s for the 730Ld. At this point, the 640i Gran Turismo leads by 0.56 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 640i Gran Turismo is doing 137 km/h against 131 km/h for the 730Ld. The gap is 0.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 640i Gran Turismo crosses the line in 13.66 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.61 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 640i Gran Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 192 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 640i Gran Turismo finishes in 24.62 s versus 25.69 s, with a 1.07 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 640i Gran Turismo and the 730Ld 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 (5.21 kg/hp vs 6.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.30 seconds. The 0.56 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 640i Gran Turismo G32 wins (5,49 s vs 6,05 s).
640i Gran Turismo G32 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,49 seconds (calibrated simulation).
