Off the line, the Model X 90D hits 100 km/h in 5.03 s versus 5.49 s for the Bmw 740e iPerformance. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 740e iPerformance is 5 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 90D is doing 147 km/h against 133 km/h for the Bmw 740e iPerformance. The gap is 0.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X 90D crosses the line in 13.07 s versus 13.68 s. The 0.61 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Model X 90D continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 205 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X 90D finishes in 23.32 s versus 24.90 s, with a 1.58 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (249 (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 90D and the Bmw 740e 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 (4.59 kg/hp vs 5.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.52 seconds. The 0.46 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.
