Off the line, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion hits 100 km/h in 5.47 s versus 6.05 s for the Bmw 730Ld. At this point, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion leads by 0.58 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion is doing 131 km/h against 131 km/h for the Bmw 730Ld. The gap is 0.57 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion crosses the line in 13.68 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.58 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion finishes in 24.99 s versus 25.69 s, with a 0.70 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.
The S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw 730Ld’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 share the same electronic speed cap: the S 350 d 4MATIC Limousine Langversion and the Bmw 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 (7.19 kg/hp vs 6.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.30 seconds. The 0.58 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.
