Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 5.36 s for the Bmw 745Le. Despite lacking instant torque, 280 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Giulia Veloce leads by 0.11 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw 745Le. The gap is 0.14 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 745Le crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 13.56 s. The 0.09 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 745Le continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 745Le finishes in 23.97 s versus 24.89 s, with a 0.92 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 745Le is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Giulia Veloce at 240 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 8.11 seconds. The 0.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Giulia Veloce wins (5,25 s vs 5,36 s).
