Off the line, the M4 Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the M4 Competition leads by 1.80 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M4 Competition is doing 158 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 1.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the M4 Competition crosses the line in 11.78 s versus 13.69 s. The 1.91 s gap represents roughly 90 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M4 Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 220 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M4 Competition finishes in 21.33 s versus 24.35 s, with a 3.02 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.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the M4 Competition 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 (3.38 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 1.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M4 Competition G82 wins (3,83 s vs 5,63 s).
M4 Competition G82 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,83 seconds (calibrated simulation).
