Off the line, the Giulia Quadrifoglio hits 100 km/h in 3.94 s versus 11.23 s for the Bmw 216d. At this point, the Giulia Quadrifoglio leads by 7.29 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Quadrifoglio is doing 164 km/h against 105 km/h for the Bmw 216d. The gap is 4.28 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Quadrifoglio crosses the line in 11.74 s versus 18.21 s. The 6.47 s gap represents roughly 211 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Giulia Quadrifoglio continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 228 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Giulia Quadrifoglio finishes in 20.93 s versus 32.65 s, with a 11.72 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Giulia Quadrifoglio is capped at 307 km/h, the Bmw 216d at 195 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.10 kg/hp vs 12.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.17 seconds. The 7.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Giulia Quadrifoglio wins (3,94 s vs 11,23 s).
