Off the line, the Bmw 745e hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.75 s for the S 450 e Saloon. At this point, the Bmw 745e leads by 0.59 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 745e is doing 139 km/h against 138 km/h for the S 450 e Saloon. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 745e crosses the line in 13.37 s versus 13.80 s. The 0.43 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 745e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 745e finishes in 24.07 s versus 24.46 s, with a 0.38 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the S 450 e Saloon and the Bmw 745e are governed to 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.67 kg/hp vs 5.08 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.38 seconds. The 0.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
