Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 6.58 s versus 7.75 s for the Bmw 520e. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 520e is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 127 km/h against 114 km/h for the Bmw 520e. The gap is 0.26 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 14.81 s versus 15.64 s. The 0.83 s gap represents roughly 32 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 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 27.64 s versus 29.03 s, with a 1.39 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (220 km/h), the Bmw 520e 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 520e 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 (7.59 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.17 seconds. The 1.17 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.
