Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 4.94 s for the SQ2. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 1.20 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 133 km/h for the SQ2. The gap is 1.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 13.47 s. The 1.95 s gap represents roughly 88 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 24.55 s, with a 3.85 s lead.
Electronically capped at 300 km/h, the F-TYPE R P575 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.03 kg/hp vs 5.12 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.36 seconds. The 1.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F-TYPE R P575 wins (3,74 s vs 4,94 s).
F-TYPE R P575 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
