Off the line, the Bmw 745Le hits 100 km/h in 5.36 s versus 5.87 s for the Panamera S Hybrid. The instant torque of 600 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Panamera S Hybrid is 2 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 745Le is doing 141 km/h against 130 km/h for the Panamera S Hybrid. The gap is 0.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 745Le crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 14.14 s. The 0.67 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 745Le continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 745Le finishes in 23.97 s versus 25.88 s, with a 1.92 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 254 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 Panamera S Hybrid at 270 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 9.25 seconds. The 0.51 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.
