Bmw i4 M50 xDrive vs 2019 911 GT3 RS: chronicle of a drag race at 309 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 2019 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.08 s versus 3.92 s for the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive. Despite lacking instant torque, 527 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 2019 911 GT3 RS leads by 0.84 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS is doing 173 km/h against 155 km/h for the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive. The gap is 0.80 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2019 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 10.77 s versus 12.01 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2019 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.59 s versus 21.97 s, with a 2.37 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 225 km/h, the Bmw i4 M50 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 5.72 seconds. The 0.84 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 2019 911 GT3 RS has a clear edge over the Bmw i4 M50 xDrive to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
