Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 7.20 s for the Cooper E FWD. At this point, the Dolphin Boost 150kW leads by 0.27 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW is doing 126 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper E FWD. The gap is 0.14 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 15.37 s. The 0.24 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW finishes in 28.66 s versus 28.93 s, with a 0.27 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 160 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Dolphin Boost 150kW and the Cooper E FWD 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 (7.30 kg/hp vs 7.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.15 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
