The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 6.54 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. At this point, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid leads by 0.28 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid is doing 127 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid crosses the line in 14.71 s versus 14.96 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The G6 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid keeps accelerating towards 225 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.22 s.

At 1,000 metres, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid finishes in 26.77 s versus 26.81 s, with just 0.05 s to spare. The G6 fails to fully close the launch gap.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G6 is capped at 200 km/h, the Formentor VZ e-Hybrid at 225 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 (6.99 kg/hp vs 6.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.49 seconds. The 0.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
