Off the line, the e:Ny1 hits 100 km/h in 7.76 s versus 9.16 s for the Q3 SUV. The instant torque of 310 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the e:Ny1 leads by 1.40 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e:Ny1 is doing 122 km/h against 111 km/h for the Q3 SUV. The gap is 0.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e:Ny1 crosses the line in 15.82 s versus 16.93 s. The 1.11 s gap represents roughly 41 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the e:Ny1 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 151 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the e:Ny1 finishes in 29.40 s versus 30.84 s, with a 1.44 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (209 km/h), the Q3 SUV never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the e:Ny1 is capped at 160 km/h, the Q3 SUV at 209 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 16.01 seconds. The 1.40 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, e:Ny1 wins (7,76 s vs 9,16 s).
e:Ny1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,76 seconds (calibrated simulation).
