Off the line, the 750Ld xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.63 s versus 8.36 s for the 9 E-Tense 250. Despite lacking instant torque, 400 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 750Ld xDrive leads by 3.73 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 750Ld xDrive is doing 145 km/h against 121 km/h for the 9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 2.55 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 750Ld xDrive crosses the line in 12.84 s versus 16.22 s. The 3.38 s gap represents roughly 134 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 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 750Ld xDrive finishes in 23.18 s versus 28.57 s, with a 5.39 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 750Ld xDrive 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.
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 12.32 seconds. The 3.73 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 8,36 s).
750Ld xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
