Off the line, the Born VZ hits 100 km/h in 5.73 s versus 7.32 s for the Cooper SE FWD. At this point, the Born VZ leads by 1.59 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Born VZ is doing 138 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper SE FWD. The gap is 1.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Born VZ crosses the line in 13.96 s versus 15.46 s. The 1.51 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Born VZ continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Born VZ finishes in 27.45 s versus 29.86 s, with a 2.41 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Born VZ is capped at 160 km/h, the Cooper SE FWD at 150 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 (5.68 kg/hp vs 7.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.21 seconds. The 1.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
