Off the line, the Model 3 Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 5.16 s for the Bmw 745e. At this point, the Model 3 Performance leads by 2.12 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model 3 Performance is doing 162 km/h against 139 km/h for the Bmw 745e. The gap is 1.64 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model 3 Performance crosses the line in 11.12 s versus 13.37 s. The 2.25 s gap represents roughly 104 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model 3 Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model 3 Performance finishes in 20.48 s versus 24.07 s, with a 3.59 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (261 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Model 3 Performance features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Bmw 745e’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model 3 Performance is capped at 261 km/h, the Bmw 745e 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 (3.62 kg/hp vs 5.08 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.80 seconds. The 2.12 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.
