Off the line, the P7i hits 100 km/h in 6.31 s versus 7.32 s for the Cooper SE FWD. At this point, the P7i leads by 1.01 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7i is doing 129 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper SE FWD. The gap is 0.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 15.46 s. The 0.90 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the P7i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7i finishes in 26.38 s versus 29.86 s, with a 3.48 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the P7i is capped at 200 km/h, the Cooper SE FWD 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 (7.18 kg/hp vs 7.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.21 seconds. The 1.01 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7i wins (6,31 s vs 7,32 s).
P7i goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,31 seconds (calibrated simulation).
