Off the line, the 750Ld xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.63 s versus 6.16 s for the 730d. At this point, the 750Ld xDrive leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 750Ld xDrive is doing 145 km/h against 131 km/h for the 730d. The gap is 1.06 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 750Ld xDrive crosses the line in 12.84 s versus 14.36 s. The 1.53 s gap represents roughly 67 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 750Ld xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 750Ld xDrive finishes in 23.18 s versus 25.82 s, with a 2.65 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.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 750Ld xDrive and the 730d 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 (4.95 kg/hp vs 6.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.41 seconds. The 1.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 750Ld xDrive G11 wins (4,63 s vs 6,16 s).
750Ld xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
