Off the line, the Model X Long Range hits 100 km/h in 4.11 s versus 5.29 s for the Bmw X6 M50d. The instant torque of 660 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Model X Long Range leads by 1.18 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Long Range is doing 160 km/h against 135 km/h for the Bmw X6 M50d. The gap is 0.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Long Range crosses the line in 11.92 s versus 13.62 s. The 1.70 s gap represents roughly 77 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 224 km/h versus 187 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Long Range finishes in 21.31 s versus 24.91 s, with a 3.60 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 X6 M50d 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.26 seconds. The 1.18 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.
