Off the line, the 740Le iPerformance hits 100 km/h in 5.58 s versus 5.98 s for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. At this point, the 740Le iPerformance leads by 0.40 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 740Le iPerformance is doing 132 km/h against 127 km/h for the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 0.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 740Le iPerformance crosses the line in 13.77 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.50 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 740Le iPerformance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 740Le iPerformance finishes in 25.05 s versus 26.41 s, with a 1.36 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 740Le iPerformance never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.95 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 0.40 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 740Le iPerformance G11 wins (5,58 s vs 5,98 s).
740Le iPerformance G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
