F-150 Raptor EcoBoost 450 vs Bmw M340i xDrive: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M340i xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.32 s versus 5.51 s for the F-150 Raptor EcoBoost 450. At this point, the Bmw M340i xDrive leads by 1.19 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive is doing 147 km/h against 135 km/h for the F-150 Raptor EcoBoost 450. The gap is 0.94 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M340i xDrive crosses the line in 12.46 s versus 13.83 s. The 1.36 s gap represents roughly 61 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M340i xDrive finishes in 22.65 s versus 26.22 s, with a 3.57 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-150 Raptor EcoBoost 450 is capped at 175 km/h, the Bmw M340i xDrive at 250 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.35 kg/hp vs 4.77 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.52 seconds. The 1.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M340i xDrive has a clear edge over the Ford F-150 Raptor EcoBoost 450 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
