Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 10.21 s for the Kuga 2nd Gen EcoBoost 150. The instant torque of 1,100 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the iX M60 leads by 6.50 s and sits roughly 34 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 105 km/h for the Kuga 2nd Gen EcoBoost 150. The gap is 3.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 17.56 s. The 5.62 s gap represents roughly 187 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 147 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 31.98 s, with a 10.14 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the iX M60 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 17.26 seconds. The 6.50 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 10,21 s).
iX M60 I20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,71 seconds (calibrated simulation).
