Tang EV AWD 380kW vs Bmw M4 Coupe: chronicle of a drag race at 250 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M4 Coupe hits 100 km/h in 4.38 s versus 4.39 s for the Tang EV AWD 380kW. Despite lacking instant torque, 431 hp of power compensates. The 0.01 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Coupe is doing 157 km/h against 147 km/h for the Tang EV AWD 380kW. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Coupe crosses the line in 12.21 s versus 12.64 s. The 0.43 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 180 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Coupe finishes in 21.75 s versus 24.64 s, with a 2.89 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Tang EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw M4 Coupe at 250 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 6.58 seconds. The 0.01 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M4 Coupe is slightly faster than the BYD Tang EV AWD 380kW to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
