Off the line, the Atto 3 Extended Range hits 100 km/h in 7.41 s versus 9.33 s for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. At this point, the Atto 3 Extended Range leads by 1.92 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range is doing 121 km/h against 115 km/h for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. The gap is 1.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Atto 3 Extended Range crosses the line in 15.57 s versus 17.01 s. The 1.44 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range finishes in 29.19 s versus 30.73 s, with a 1.54 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 160 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Seal U 160kW 2WD and the Atto 3 Extended Range are governed to 160 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.15 kg/hp vs 8.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.04 seconds. The 1.92 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Atto 3 Extended Range wins (7,41 s vs 9,33 s).
Seal U 160kW 2WD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 9,33 seconds (calibrated simulation).
