Off the line, the Atto 3 Extended Range hits 100 km/h in 7.41 s versus 7.54 s for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. At this point, the Atto 3 Extended Range leads by 0.13 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range is doing 121 km/h against 124 km/h for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. The gap is 0.18 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Atto 3 Extended Range crosses the line in 15.57 s versus 15.61 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 160 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 160 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 finishes in 29.16 s versus 29.19 s. The 0.03 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 and the Atto 3 Extended Range are governed to 160 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.80 kg/hp vs 8.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
