The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the X6 M Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.64 s for the Model X 100D. Despite lacking instant torque, 625 hp of power compensates. At this point, the X6 M Competition leads by 0.80 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the X6 M Competition is doing 155 km/h against 148 km/h for the Model X 100D. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the X6 M Competition crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 12.78 s. The 0.85 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the X6 M Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the X6 M Competition finishes in 21.75 s versus 23.03 s, with a 1.28 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.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the X6 M Competition and the Model X 100D 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 6.71 seconds. The 0.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
