? - Apologies if I'm misunderstanding you, but the timing is in seconds, so it completed all maneuvers in 18.00 sec. If they don't complete a test section within 10 sec doesn't it stop and fail that section?

X7 did it much faster and smoother which just confuses me. I’d need to know the software and mechanical differences.

The X7 40i completed it in 9:16 sec. I'm not a Physicist, but perhaps the weight of the vehicle alone allows gravity to provide more traction to one wheel? I haven't looked at their tests of smaller, lighter vehicles to see if that pans out, just thinking... And personally, not worried about those 9 seconds tbh.
