Off the line, the Seal 313 2WD hits 100 km/h in 6.00 s versus 10.10 s for the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145. The instant torque of 360 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Seal 313 2WD leads by 4.10 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 313 2WD is doing 135 km/h against 110 km/h for the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145. The gap is 2.27 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 17.52 s. The 3.31 s gap represents roughly 120 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 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 31.23 s, with a 4.92 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Seal 313 2WD and the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145 are governed to 180 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.
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 15.82 seconds. The 4.10 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 10,10 s).
Seal 313 2WD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,00 seconds (calibrated simulation).
