Off the line, the MONA M03 hits 100 km/h in 7.45 s versus 9.33 s for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. At this point, the MONA M03 leads by 1.88 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the MONA M03 is doing 126 km/h against 115 km/h for the Seal U 160kW 2WD. The gap is 1.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the MONA M03 crosses the line in 15.48 s versus 17.01 s. The 1.53 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the MONA M03 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the MONA M03 finishes in 27.51 s versus 30.73 s, with a 3.23 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal U 160kW 2WD is capped at 160 km/h, the MONA M03 at 200 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 (9.15 kg/hp vs 7.60 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 1.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
