Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 7.38 s for the Bmw 120d. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 3.64 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 121 km/h for the Bmw 120d. The gap is 2.49 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 15.41 s. The 3.89 s gap represents roughly 152 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 168 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 27.90 s, with a 7.20 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the Bmw 120d at 231 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 (3.03 kg/hp vs 7.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.54 seconds. The 3.64 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 7,38 s).
F-TYPE R P575 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
