Off the line, the Seal 313 2WD hits 100 km/h in 6.00 s versus 6.91 s for the 120i. The instant torque of 360 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Seal 313 2WD leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 313 2WD is doing 135 km/h against 124 km/h for the 120i. The gap is 0.44 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 313 2WD crosses the line in 14.21 s versus 15.02 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Seal 313 2WD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 27.09 s, with a 0.78 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (235 km/h), the 120i never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 313 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the 120i 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 10.76 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Seal 313 2WD wins (6,00 s vs 6,91 s).
