Tang EV AWD 380kW vs Bmw M4 Convertible: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Tang EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 4.39 s versus 4.69 s for the Bmw M4 Convertible. The instant torque of 700 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Tang EV AWD 380kW leads by 0.30 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW is doing 147 km/h against 151 km/h for the Bmw M4 Convertible. The gap is 0.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Tang EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 12.64 s. The 0.00 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Convertible finishes in 22.51 s versus 24.64 s, with a 2.12 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Tang EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw M4 Convertible 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.
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 6.66 seconds. The 0.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
BYD Tang EV AWD 380kW is slightly faster than the Bmw M4 Convertible to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
