Off the line, the Maybach S 680 hits 100 km/h in 4.53 s versus 4.56 s for the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Maybach S 680 is doing 153 km/h against 144 km/h for the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Maybach S 680 crosses the line in 12.41 s versus 12.82 s. The 0.41 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Maybach S 680 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 220 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Maybach S 680 finishes in 21.93 s versus 23.33 s, with a 1.40 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 Maybach S 680 and the Bmw M550d xDrive Touring 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 (3.86 kg/hp vs 4.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.01 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
