Off the line, the Formentor VZ hits 100 km/h in 4.96 s versus 6.15 s for the ID.4 GTX. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Formentor VZ leads by 1.19 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Formentor VZ is doing 142 km/h against 128 km/h for the ID.4 GTX. The gap is 0.71 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Formentor VZ crosses the line in 13.25 s versus 14.48 s. The 1.22 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Formentor VZ continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Formentor VZ finishes in 23.95 s versus 26.83 s, with a 2.88 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Formentor VZ is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the ID.4 GTX at 180 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 9.71 seconds. The 1.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Formentor VZ wins (4,96 s vs 6,15 s).
Formentor VZ goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
