Off the line, the Model X 100D hits 100 km/h in 4.64 s versus 5.32 s for the Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Model X 100D is doing 148 km/h against 134 km/h for the Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance. The gap is 0.33 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 100D crosses the line in 12.78 s versus 13.54 s. The 0.76 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 100D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 188 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 100D finishes in 23.03 s versus 24.72 s, with a 1.70 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 Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance 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 6.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.34 seconds. The 0.69 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.
