Off the line, the Bmw M5 hits 100 km/h in 3.43 s versus 5.98 s for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. Despite lacking instant torque, 600 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Bmw M5 leads by 2.56 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M5 is doing 165 km/h against 127 km/h for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 1.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M5 crosses the line in 11.24 s versus 14.27 s. The 3.02 s gap represents roughly 124 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M5 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M5 finishes in 20.41 s versus 26.41 s, with a 6.00 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M5 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 9.63 seconds. The 2.56 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
