Off the line, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) hits 100 km/h in 7.24 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) leads by 0.21 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) is doing 122 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 0.28 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) crosses the line in 15.40 s versus 15.48 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Bmw i3 (120 Ah) maxes out at 150 km/h while the MONA M03 keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.37 s.
Around 459 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the MONA M03 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 50 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the MONA M03 finishes in 27.51 s versus 29.80 s. The 2.29 s delta in favour of the MONA M03 shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the MONA M03 is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw i3 (120 Ah) at 150 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 (7.60 kg/hp vs 7.47 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.47 seconds. The 0.21 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.
