Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 4.22 s versus 5.49 s for the Bmw 740e iPerformance. At this point, the P7 leads by 1.28 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 147 km/h against 133 km/h for the Bmw 740e iPerformance. The gap is 0.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 12.54 s versus 13.68 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The P7 maxes out at 170 km/h while the Bmw 740e iPerformance keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.98 s.
Around 916 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Bmw 740e iPerformance overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 80 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 740e iPerformance finishes in 24.90 s versus 25.24 s. The 0.35 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7 is capped at 170 km/h, the Bmw 740e iPerformance at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (4.81 kg/hp vs 5.83 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.52 seconds. The 1.28 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.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (4,21 s vs 5,49 s).
