Off the line, the F-TYPE P300 hits 100 km/h in 5.63 s versus 8.36 s for the 9 E-Tense 250. Despite lacking instant torque, 300 hp of power compensates. At this point, the F-TYPE P300 leads by 2.73 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE P300 is doing 140 km/h against 121 km/h for the 9 E-Tense 250. The gap is 1.82 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE P300 crosses the line in 13.69 s versus 16.22 s. The 2.53 s gap represents roughly 102 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE P300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE P300 finishes in 24.35 s versus 28.57 s, with a 4.22 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the F-TYPE P300 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 12.32 seconds. The 2.73 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-TYPE P300 wins (5,63 s vs 8,36 s).
F-TYPE P300 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
