Off the line, the 840d xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.73 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the 840d xDrive leads by 0.89 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 840d xDrive is doing 142 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.66 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 840d xDrive crosses the line in 13.00 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.69 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 840d xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 840d xDrive finishes in 23.58 s versus 24.35 s, with a 0.77 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 840d xDrive and the F-TYPE P300 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 (5.63 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 840d xDrive G15 wins (4,73 s vs 5,63 s).
840d xDrive G15 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,73 seconds (calibrated simulation).
