Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 7.24 s for the Bmw i3 (120 Ah). The 0.31 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW is doing 126 km/h against 122 km/h for the Bmw i3 (120 Ah). The gap is 0.09 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Dolphin Boost 150kW crosses the line in 15.13 s versus 15.40 s. The 0.27 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW finishes in 28.66 s versus 29.80 s, with a 1.14 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Dolphin Boost 150kW is capped at 160 km/h, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) at 150 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.30 kg/hp vs 7.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.47 seconds. The 0.31 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.
