The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Born VZ hits 100 km/h in 5.73 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the Born VZ leads by 1.72 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Born VZ is doing 138 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 1.15 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Born VZ crosses the line in 13.96 s versus 15.48 s. The 1.53 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Born VZ maxes out at 160 km/h while the MONA M03 keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 1.38 s from 1.53 s at 400 metres.

At 1,000 metres, the Born VZ finishes in 27.45 s versus 27.51 s, with just 0.06 s to spare. The MONA M03 fails to fully close the launch gap.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Born VZ 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 (5.68 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 10.92 seconds. The 1.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
