Off the line, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 hits 100 km/h in 6.71 s versus 7.41 s for the Atto 3 Extended Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 305 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 leads by 0.70 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the Atto 3 Extended Range. The gap is 0.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 crosses the line in 14.92 s versus 15.57 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 finishes in 27.09 s versus 29.19 s, with a 2.10 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Explorer EcoBoost 300 is capped at 220 km/h, the Atto 3 Extended Range at 160 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 11.71 seconds. The 0.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
