Off the line, the 630d Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 6.08 s versus 6.12 s for the i5 eDrive40. Despite lacking instant torque, 286 hp of power compensates. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 630d Gran Turismo is doing 130 km/h against 135 km/h for the i5 eDrive40. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the i5 eDrive40 crosses the line in 14.29 s versus 14.32 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the i5 eDrive40 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i5 eDrive40 finishes in 25.87 s versus 25.91 s, with a 0.05 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the 630d Gran Turismo never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the 630d Gran Turismo at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 9.46 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, i5 eDrive40 G60 and 630d Gran Turismo G32 are neck and neck (6,08 s vs 6,12 s, no significant gap).
i5 eDrive40 G60 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,12 seconds (calibrated simulation).
i5 eDrive40 G60: 313 hp, ratio 6,81 kg/hp. 630d Gran Turismo G32: 286 hp, ratio 6,75 kg/hp.
i5 eDrive40 G60: 193 km/h. 630d Gran Turismo G32: 250 km/h.
