Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.30 s versus 5.32 s for the Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance. The 1.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 158 km/h against 134 km/h for the Bmw 740Le xDrive iPerformance. The gap is 0.68 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 12.14 s versus 13.54 s. The 1.40 s gap represents roughly 63 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Long Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 188 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.65 s versus 24.72 s, with a 3.07 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 Long Range 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 (3.67 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 1.03 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.
