600e 156 vs 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8: chronicle of a drag race at 201 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 600e 156 hits 100 km/h in 8.92 s versus 11.82 s for the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The instant torque of 260 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 600e 156 leads by 2.90 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 600e 156 is doing 115 km/h against 102 km/h for the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The gap is 1.13 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 600e 156 crosses the line in 16.73 s versus 18.51 s. The 1.78 s gap represents roughly 61 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 600e 156 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 600e 156 finishes in 31.23 s versus 33.30 s, with a 2.07 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (201 km/h), the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the 600e 156 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 19.52 seconds. The 2.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Fiat 600e 156 has a clear edge over the Peugeot 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
