The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the F-TYPE P300 hits 100 km/h in 5.63 s versus 6.12 s for the i5 eDrive40. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the F-TYPE P300 leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the F-TYPE P300 is doing 140 km/h against 135 km/h for the i5 eDrive40. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE P300 crosses the line in 13.69 s versus 14.29 s. The 0.60 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE P300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE P300 finishes in 24.35 s versus 25.87 s, with a 1.52 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the F-TYPE P300 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 8.92 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
