Off the line, the Seal 313 2WD hits 100 km/h in 6.00 s versus 6.48 s for the Bmw 125d. The instant torque of 360 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Seal 313 2WD leads by 0.48 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 313 2WD is doing 135 km/h against 130 km/h for the Bmw 125d. The gap is 0.30 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 14.67 s. The 0.47 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Seal 313 2WD maxes out at 180 km/h while the Bmw 125d keeps accelerating towards 240 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 0.58 s from 0.47 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 26.39 s, with just 0.08 s to spare. The Bmw 125d fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 313 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw 125d at 240 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 9.81 seconds. The 0.48 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 6,48 s).
