Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 5.58 s for the 740Le iPerformance. At this point, the iX M60 leads by 1.87 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 132 km/h for the 740Le iPerformance. The gap is 1.25 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 13.77 s. The 1.83 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the iX M60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 212 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 25.05 s, with a 3.20 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 iX M60 and the 740Le iPerformance 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.26 kg/hp vs 5.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.68 seconds. The 1.87 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, iX M60 I20 wins (3,71 s vs 5,58 s).
iX M60 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,71 seconds (calibrated simulation).
