Off the line, the Bmw X6 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 5.63 s for the Cayenne. At this point, the Bmw X6 M Competition leads by 1.80 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition is doing 155 km/h against 133 km/h for the Cayenne. The gap is 1.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X6 M Competition crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 13.87 s. The 1.94 s gap represents roughly 85 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X6 M Competition finishes in 21.75 s versus 25.36 s, with a 3.61 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 245 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X6 M Competition is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Cayenne at 245 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 (3.71 kg/hp vs 5.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.70 seconds. The 1.80 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.
