Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 11.48 s for the Bmw 216i Gran Tourer. The instant torque of 390 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the P7 leads by 4.90 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 101 km/h for the Bmw 216i Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.87 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 18.00 s. The 3.19 s gap represents roughly 105 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the P7 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 138 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 33.21 s, with a 5.56 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (188 km/h), the Bmw 216i Gran Tourer never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Bmw 216i Gran Tourer at 188 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 20.07 seconds. The 4.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (6,58 s vs 11,48 s).
P7 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
