Off the line, the 730Ld hits 100 km/h in 6.25 s versus 8.13 s for the 220d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 730Ld leads by 1.88 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 730Ld is doing 129 km/h against 117 km/h for the 220d Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.98 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 730Ld crosses the line in 14.46 s versus 16.00 s. The 1.54 s gap represents roughly 60 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 730Ld continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 181 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 730Ld finishes in 26.03 s versus 29.05 s, with a 3.02 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 730Ld is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 220d Gran Tourer at 220 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.87 kg/hp vs 8.21 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.91 seconds. The 1.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 730Ld G11 wins (6,25 s vs 8,13 s).
730Ld G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,25 seconds (calibrated simulation).
