Off the line, the Giulia Quadrifoglio hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 8.51 s for the 118d. At this point, the Giulia Quadrifoglio leads by 4.58 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Quadrifoglio is doing 164 km/h against 114 km/h for the 118d. The gap is 2.83 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Quadrifoglio crosses the line in 11.73 s versus 16.27 s. The 4.54 s gap represents roughly 165 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 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Giulia Quadrifoglio finishes in 20.92 s versus 29.61 s, with a 8.70 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Giulia Quadrifoglio is capped at 307 km/h, the 118d at 212 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 9.30 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.72 seconds. The 4.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Giulia Quadrifoglio wins (3,93 s vs 8,51 s).
Giulia Quadrifoglio goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,93 seconds (calibrated simulation).
