Off the line, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 13.91 s for the Panda 1.2 8v 69. The instant torque of 245 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 leads by 5.79 s and sits roughly 46 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 is doing 117 km/h against 97 km/h for the Panda 1.2 8v 69. The gap is 2.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 crosses the line in 16.13 s versus 19.87 s. The 3.73 s gap represents roughly 118 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 133 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 finishes in 30.62 s versus 35.79 s, with a 5.17 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (166 km/h), the Panda 1.2 8v 69 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 24.23 seconds. The 5.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 5 E-Tech Electric 150 wins (8,12 s vs 13,91 s).
