Off the line, the 750Li xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 6.43 s for the Focus ST 250 Gen3. At this point, the 750Li xDrive leads by 2.39 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 750Li xDrive is doing 162 km/h against 134 km/h for the Focus ST 250 Gen3. The gap is 1.91 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 750Li xDrive crosses the line in 11.80 s versus 14.55 s. The 2.75 s gap represents roughly 121 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 750Li xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 188 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 750Li xDrive finishes in 21.02 s versus 25.77 s, with a 4.75 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 254 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 750Li 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.81 kg/hp vs 5.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.42 seconds. The 2.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 750Li xDrive G11 wins (4,04 s vs 6,43 s).
750Li xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
750Li xDrive G11: 530 hp, ratio 3,81 kg/hp. Focus ST 250 Gen3: 250 hp, ratio 5,56 kg/hp.
750Li xDrive G11: 250 km/h. Focus ST 250 Gen3: 254 km/h.
