Off the line, the Bmw X6 M50d hits 100 km/h in 5.29 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 381 hp of power compensates. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw X6 M50d is doing 135 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.03 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw X6 M50d crosses the line in 13.62 s versus 13.90 s. The 0.28 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw X6 M50d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 187 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw X6 M50d finishes in 24.91 s versus 26.20 s, with a 1.29 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw X6 M50d is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model Y Long Range RWD at 217 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.
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 8.80 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
