The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 3.96 s for the Bmw M850i xDrive Convertible. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 0.22 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 161 km/h for the Bmw M850i xDrive Convertible. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 11.82 s. The 0.30 s gap represents roughly 17 m of track — two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 226 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 21.13 s, with a 0.43 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the Bmw M850i xDrive Convertible 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.

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.03 kg/hp vs 3.87 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.62 seconds. The 0.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
