Off the line, the P7i hits 100 km/h in 6.31 s versus 6.47 s for the Bmw 530i. The instant torque of 430 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the P7i leads by 0.16 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7i is doing 129 km/h against 130 km/h for the Bmw 530i. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 14.61 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The P7i maxes out at 200 km/h while the Bmw 530i keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.07 s.
Around 480 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Bmw 530i overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 50 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 530i finishes in 26.09 s versus 26.38 s. The 0.28 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7i is capped at 200 km/h, the Bmw 530i 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.
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 9.78 seconds. The 0.16 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.
