Off the line, the 296 GTB hits 100 km/h in 2.94 s versus 4.24 s for the Bmw M4. The instant torque of 740 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 296 GTB leads by 1.30 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 296 GTB is doing 184 km/h against 151 km/h for the Bmw M4. The gap is 1.31 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 296 GTB crosses the line in 10.30 s versus 12.38 s. The 2.08 s gap represents roughly 104 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 296 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 255 km/h versus 212 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 296 GTB finishes in 18.57 s versus 22.29 s, with a 3.72 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M4 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 6.44 seconds. The 1.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
