Off the line, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW hits 100 km/h in 5.20 s versus 5.37 s for the Bmw 640i xDrive Gran Turismo. The instant torque of 500 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW leads by 0.17 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW is doing 135 km/h against 135 km/h for the Bmw 640i xDrive Gran Turismo. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW crosses the line in 13.49 s versus 13.61 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 189 km/h versus 189 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW finishes in 24.57 s versus 24.70 s, with a 0.13 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 A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW and the Bmw 640i xDrive Gran Turismo 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.
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 8.25 seconds. The 0.17 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.
