Off the line, the 740Ld xDrive hits 100 km/h in 5.24 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. Despite lacking instant torque, 320 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 740Ld xDrive leads by 0.13 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 740Ld xDrive is doing 136 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 740Ld xDrive crosses the line in 13.54 s versus 13.60 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The F-PACE P400e maxes out at 220 km/h while the 740Ld xDrive keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.02 s.
Around 837 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the F-PACE P400e overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 30 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE P400e finishes in 24.60 s versus 24.60 s. The 0.01 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE P400e is capped at 220 km/h, the 740Ld xDrive at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 8.19 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 740Ld xDrive G11 wins (5,24 s vs 5,37 s).
F-PACE P400e goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
F-PACE P400e: 404 hp, ratio 5,55 kg/hp. 740Ld xDrive G11: 320 hp, ratio 5,98 kg/hp.
F-PACE P400e: 220 km/h. 740Ld xDrive G11: 250 km/h.
