Off the line, the Model X Performance hits 100 km/h in 3.05 s versus 5.58 s for the Bmw 740Le iPerformance. At this point, the Model X Performance leads by 2.53 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model X Performance is doing 168 km/h against 132 km/h for the Bmw 740Le iPerformance. The gap is 1.86 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model X Performance crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 13.77 s. The 2.85 s gap represents roughly 124 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model X Performance continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 233 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model X Performance finishes in 19.92 s versus 25.05 s, with a 5.13 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (262 vs 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model X Performance is capped at 262 km/h, the Bmw 740Le iPerformance at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.16 kg/hp vs 5.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.68 seconds. The 2.53 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.
