Off the line, the Bmw 760i xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.28 s versus 4.84 s for the I-PACE EV400. Despite lacking instant torque, 544 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw 760i xDrive leads by 0.55 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 760i xDrive is doing 152 km/h against 141 km/h for the I-PACE EV400. The gap is 0.48 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 760i xDrive crosses the line in 12.30 s versus 13.18 s. The 0.88 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 760i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 760i xDrive finishes in 22.04 s versus 24.36 s, with a 2.32 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 760i xDrive is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the I-PACE EV400 at 200 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 7.37 seconds. The 0.55 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 760i xDrive G11 wins (4,28 s vs 4,83 s).
760i xDrive G11 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,28 seconds (calibrated simulation).
