Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 8.36 s for the 5 Long Range FWD. At this point, the Dolphin Boost 150kW leads by 1.43 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW is doing 126 km/h against 121 km/h for the 5 Long Range FWD. The gap is 0.91 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 16.27 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Dolphin Boost 150kW maxes out at 160 km/h while the 5 Long Range FWD keeps accelerating towards 185 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 1.21 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW finishes in 28.66 s versus 29.07 s, with just 0.41 s to spare. The 5 Long Range FWD fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Dolphin Boost 150kW is capped at 160 km/h, the 5 Long Range FWD at 185 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 8.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.50 seconds. The 1.43 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Dolphin Boost 150kW wins (6,93 s vs 8,36 s).
Dolphin Boost 150kW goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,93 seconds (calibrated simulation).
