Off the line, the Model X 100D hits 100 km/h in 4.64 s versus 5.67 s for the Bmw X6 xDrive40i. The instant torque of 967 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X 100D leads by 1.04 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X 100D is doing 148 km/h against 132 km/h for the Bmw X6 xDrive40i. The gap is 0.63 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 100D crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 13.94 s. The 1.16 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 182 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 100D finishes in 23.03 s versus 25.47 s, with a 2.44 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 248 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X 100D and the Bmw X6 xDrive40i are governed to 249 (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 8.87 seconds. The 1.04 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.
