Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 9.74 s for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The instant torque of 430 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E RWD leads by 3.70 s and sits roughly 34 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD is doing 129 km/h against 111 km/h for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The gap is 2.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Mustang Mach-E RWD crosses the line in 14.39 s versus 17.32 s. The 2.93 s gap represents roughly 107 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD finishes in 26.73 s versus 31.21 s, with a 4.48 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 188 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Mustang Mach-E RWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Captur TCe 130 EDC at 188 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 15.47 seconds. The 3.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Mustang Mach-E RWD wins (6,04 s vs 9,74 s).
Mustang Mach-E RWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
