Off the line, the F-PACE SVR hits 100 km/h in 4.35 s versus 6.71 s for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. At this point, the F-PACE SVR leads by 2.36 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-PACE SVR is doing 154 km/h against 127 km/h for the Explorer EcoBoost 300. The gap is 1.68 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-PACE SVR crosses the line in 12.30 s versus 14.92 s. The 2.62 s gap represents roughly 109 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-PACE SVR continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 173 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-PACE SVR finishes in 22.05 s versus 27.09 s, with a 5.04 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-PACE SVR is capped at 285 km/h, the Explorer EcoBoost 300 at 220 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.68 kg/hp vs 6.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.35 seconds. The 2.36 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-PACE SVR wins (4,35 s vs 6,71 s).
F-PACE SVR goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,35 seconds (calibrated simulation).
