Manufacturer technical specifications. The power-to-weight ratio is the key physical factor in a drag race.

The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Bmw M4 hits 100 km/h in 4.19 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the Bmw M4 leads by 1.43 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 is doing 155 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 1.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 crosses the line in 12.23 s versus 13.69 s. The 1.46 s gap represents roughly 69 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 finishes in 21.86 s versus 24.35 s, with a 2.50 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw M4 and the F-TYPE P300 are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.54 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 1.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
