Off the line, the ID.4 GTX hits 100 km/h in 6.15 s versus 6.93 s for the Dolphin Boost 150kW. At this point, the ID.4 GTX leads by 0.78 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ID.4 GTX is doing 128 km/h against 126 km/h for the Dolphin Boost 150kW. The gap is 0.58 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the ID.4 GTX crosses the line in 14.48 s versus 15.13 s. The 0.66 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the ID.4 GTX continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ID.4 GTX finishes in 26.83 s versus 28.66 s, with a 1.83 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ID.4 GTX is capped at 180 km/h, the Dolphin Boost 150kW at 160 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.33 kg/hp vs 7.30 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.58 seconds. The 0.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, ID.4 GTX wins (6,15 s vs 6,93 s).
ID.4 GTX goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,15 seconds (calibrated simulation).
