Off the line, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.19 s versus 3.72 s for the iX M60. Despite lacking instant torque, 625 hp of power compensates. At this point, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe leads by 0.52 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe is doing 166 km/h against 151 km/h for the iX M60. The gap is 0.49 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe crosses the line in 11.09 s versus 11.94 s. The 0.85 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 212 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M8 Competition Gran Coupe finishes in 20.32 s versus 21.84 s, with a 1.52 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 M8 Competition Gran Coupe and the iX M60 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.
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 5.80 seconds. The 0.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M8 Competition Gran Coupe F92 wins (3,19 s vs 3,71 s).
