Off the line, the Macan Turbo hits 100 km/h in 4.76 s versus 5.29 s for the Bmw X6 M50d. At this point, the Macan Turbo leads by 0.54 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Macan Turbo is doing 142 km/h against 135 km/h for the Bmw X6 M50d. The gap is 0.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Macan Turbo crosses the line in 12.99 s versus 13.62 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Macan Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 195 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Macan Turbo finishes in 23.72 s versus 24.91 s, with a 1.19 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (254 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Macan Turbo is capped at 264 km/h, the Bmw X6 M50d 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 (4.81 kg/hp vs 5.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.26 seconds. The 0.54 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.
