Off the line, the P7i hits 100 km/h in 6.31 s versus 6.64 s for the Bmw 735i. The instant torque of 430 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 735i is 4 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 735i is doing 123 km/h against 129 km/h for the P7i. The gap is 0.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 14.78 s. The 0.22 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the P7i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7i finishes in 26.38 s versus 27.04 s, with a 0.66 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the Bmw 735i never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 735i is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the P7i at 200 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 10.73 seconds. The 0.33 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.
