Off the line, the Born VZ hits 100 km/h in 5.73 s versus 6.00 s for the Seal 313 2WD. At this point, the Born VZ leads by 0.27 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Born VZ is doing 138 km/h against 135 km/h for the Seal 313 2WD. The gap is 0.19 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Born VZ crosses the line in 13.96 s versus 14.21 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Born VZ maxes out at 160 km/h while the Seal 313 2WD keeps accelerating towards 180 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
Around 544 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Seal 313 2WD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 20 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 27.45 s. The 1.14 s delta in favour of the Seal 313 2WD shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 313 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Born VZ 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 5.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.80 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Born VZ wins (5,73 s vs 6,00 s).
Seal 313 2WD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,00 seconds (calibrated simulation).
