Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 7.05 s for the Bmw 320i. The instant torque of 290 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 320i is 12 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 320i is doing 119 km/h against 126 km/h for the Dolphin Boost 150kW. The gap is 0.28 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320i crosses the line in 15.11 s versus 15.13 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 320i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 320i finishes in 27.81 s versus 28.66 s, with a 0.85 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Dolphin Boost 150kW is capped at 160 km/h, the Bmw 320i at 235 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 11.54 seconds. The 0.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
