Off the line, the Bmw M3 hits 100 km/h in 4.18 s versus 4.22 s for the P7. Despite lacking instant torque, 480 hp of power compensates. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M3 is doing 154 km/h against 147 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.01 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M3 crosses the line in 12.25 s versus 12.54 s. The 0.29 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M3 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M3 finishes in 21.95 s versus 25.24 s, with a 3.30 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M3 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the P7 at 170 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 6.49 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
