The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 3.73 s for the Mustang Mach-E GT. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 152 km/h for the Mustang Mach-E GT. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 11.99 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the iX M60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 212 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 22.87 s, with a 1.03 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX M60 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Mustang Mach-E GT 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 (4.26 kg/hp vs 4.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.80 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
