Off the line, the Bmw Z4 M40i hits 100 km/h in 4.54 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the Bmw Z4 M40i leads by 1.09 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw Z4 M40i is doing 147 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw Z4 M40i crosses the line in 12.70 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.99 s gap represents roughly 47 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw Z4 M40i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw Z4 M40i finishes in 22.95 s versus 24.35 s, with a 1.41 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.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw Z4 M40i and the F-TYPE P300 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.51 kg/hp vs 5.32 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 1.09 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.
