Off the line, the Born VZ hits 100 km/h in 5.73 s versus 6.73 s for the MG4 Long Range RWD. At this point, the Born VZ leads by 1.00 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Born VZ is doing 138 km/h against 129 km/h for the MG4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Born VZ crosses the line in 13.96 s versus 14.92 s. The 0.96 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Born VZ maxes out at 160 km/h while the MG4 Long Range RWD keeps accelerating towards 180 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.77 s.
Around 912 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the MG4 Long Range RWD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 20 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the MG4 Long Range RWD finishes in 27.23 s versus 27.45 s. The 0.22 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Born VZ is capped at 160 km/h, the MG4 Long Range RWD at 180 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.68 kg/hp vs 7.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 seconds. The 1.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
