Off the line, the Born hits 100 km/h in 7.23 s versus 7.35 s for the ID.3 Pro. The 0.12 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Born is doing 122 km/h against 121 km/h for the ID.3 Pro. The gap is 0.05 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Born crosses the line in 15.39 s versus 15.50 s. The 0.11 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Born continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Born finishes in 28.98 s versus 29.13 s, with a 0.15 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 160 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the ID.3 Pro and the Born are governed to 160 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.82 kg/hp vs 8.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 0.12 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, Born wins (7,23 s vs 7,35 s).
ID.3 Pro goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,35 seconds (calibrated simulation).
ID.3 Pro: 204 hp, ratio 8,82 kg/hp. Born: 201 hp, ratio 8,51 kg/hp.
ID.3 Pro: 160 km/h. Born: 160 km/h.
