The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the i7 xDrive60 hits 100 km/h in 4.66 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the i7 xDrive60 leads by 2.80 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the i7 xDrive60 is doing 145 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 1.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the i7 xDrive60 crosses the line in 12.86 s versus 15.48 s. The 2.62 s gap represents roughly 108 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the i7 xDrive60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 203 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i7 xDrive60 finishes in 23.17 s versus 27.51 s, with a 4.34 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i7 xDrive60 is capped at 240 km/h, the MONA M03 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.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.85 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 2.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
