Off the line, the X5 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 5.40 s for the G 500. At this point, the X5 M Competition leads by 1.56 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the X5 M Competition is doing 155 km/h against 133 km/h for the G 500. The gap is 1.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the X5 M Competition crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 13.68 s. The 1.74 s gap represents roughly 78 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the X5 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X5 M Competition finishes in 21.80 s versus 25.19 s, with a 3.39 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the X5 M Competition is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the G 500 at 210 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.74 kg/hp vs 5.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.48 seconds. The 1.56 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.
