Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 6.12 s for the i5 eDrive40 Touring. Despite lacking instant torque, 340 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Macan S leads by 0.84 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 138 km/h against 134 km/h for the i5 eDrive40 Touring. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 14.33 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 36 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Macan S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 184 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.59 s versus 25.96 s, with a 1.36 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan S is capped at 251 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the i5 eDrive40 Touring at 193 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.07 seconds. The 0.84 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Macan S wins (5,28 s vs 6,12 s).
Macan S goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,28 seconds (calibrated simulation).
