Off the line, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 4.03 s for the SQ8 SUV. At this point, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is doing 156 km/h against 154 km/h for the SQ8 SUV. The gap is 0.18 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio crosses the line in 11.86 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 213 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio finishes in 21.59 s versus 21.98 s, with a 0.39 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is capped at 283 km/h, the SQ8 SUV 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.59 kg/hp vs 4.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.96 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
