Off the line, the Macan S hits 100 km/h in 5.37 s versus 6.66 s for the Bmw X1 xDrive25i. At this point, the Macan S leads by 1.29 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan S is doing 135 km/h against 123 km/h for the Bmw X1 xDrive25i. The gap is 0.69 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan S crosses the line in 13.65 s versus 14.82 s. The 1.17 s gap represents roughly 49 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 188 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan S finishes in 24.85 s versus 27.13 s, with a 2.29 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 Bmw X1 xDrive25i at 235 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 (5.49 kg/hp vs 6.86 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.63 seconds. The 1.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Macan S 95B.1 wins (5,37 s vs 6,66 s).
Macan S 95B.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
