Off the line, the Seal 390 AWD hits 100 km/h in 3.77 s versus 6.47 s for the Macan. The instant torque of 670 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Seal 390 AWD leads by 2.70 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 390 AWD is doing 155 km/h against 127 km/h for the Macan. The gap is 1.89 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 390 AWD crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 14.70 s. The 2.76 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Seal 390 AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 390 AWD finishes in 23.93 s versus 26.72 s, with a 2.79 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (229 km/h), the Macan never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 390 AWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Macan at 232 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 10.13 seconds. The 2.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Seal 390 AWD wins (3,77 s vs 6,47 s).
Seal 390 AWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,77 seconds (calibrated simulation).
