The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the SF90 Stradale hits 100 km/h in 2.54 s versus 4.83 s for the M440i. The instant torque of 800 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the SF90 Stradale leads by 2.29 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the SF90 Stradale is doing 193 km/h against 146 km/h for the M440i. The gap is 2.14 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the SF90 Stradale crosses the line in 9.75 s versus 12.93 s. The 3.18 s gap represents roughly 150 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the SF90 Stradale continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 268 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SF90 Stradale finishes in 17.54 s versus 23.15 s, with a 5.61 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the M440i never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.

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 7.06 seconds. The 2.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
