Off the line, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 6.54 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. The instant torque of 400 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid leads by 1.81 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid is doing 127 km/h against 115 km/h for the E-PACE P200. The gap is 0.96 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid crosses the line in 14.71 s versus 16.19 s. The 1.48 s gap represents roughly 57 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid finishes in 26.77 s versus 29.41 s, with a 2.64 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (225 vs 215 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid is capped at 225 km/h, the E-PACE P200 at 215 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 13.46 seconds. The 1.81 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
