Off the line, the 550e xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.24 s versus 4.64 s for the Model X 100D. At this point, the 550e xDrive leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 550e xDrive is doing 153 km/h against 148 km/h for the Model X 100D. The gap is 0.33 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 550e xDrive crosses the line in 12.27 s versus 12.78 s. The 0.51 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 550e xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 550e xDrive finishes in 21.96 s versus 23.03 s, with a 1.07 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Model X 100D and the 550e xDrive are governed to 249 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.62 kg/hp vs 4.41 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.71 seconds. The 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 550e xDrive G60 wins (4,24 s vs 4,63 s).
Model X 100D goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,63 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Model X 100D: 532 hp, ratio 4,62 kg/hp. 550e xDrive G60: 489 hp, ratio 4,41 kg/hp.
Model X 100D: 250 km/h. 550e xDrive G60: 250 km/h.
