Off the line, the Taycan hits 100 km/h in 5.13 s versus 5.36 s for the Bmw 745Le. The 0.24 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Taycan is doing 148 km/h against 141 km/h for the Bmw 745Le. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Taycan crosses the line in 13.02 s versus 13.47 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Taycan continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 200 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Taycan finishes in 22.91 s versus 23.97 s, with a 1.06 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), the Bmw 745Le never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Taycan is capped at 230 km/h, the Bmw 745Le 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.15 kg/hp vs 5.19 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.84 seconds. The 0.24 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.
