The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Seal 313 2WD hits 100 km/h in 6.00 s versus 6.93 s for the Dolphin Boost 150kW. At this point, the Seal 313 2WD leads by 0.93 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Seal 313 2WD is doing 135 km/h against 126 km/h for the Dolphin Boost 150kW. The gap is 0.59 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 15.13 s. The 0.93 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Seal 313 2WD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 28.66 s, with a 2.35 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 313 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Dolphin Boost 150kW at 160 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 (6.35 kg/hp vs 7.30 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.58 seconds. The 0.93 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
