Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 6.21 s for the A3 Sedan. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 2.30 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 119 km/h for the A3 Sedan. The gap is 1.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 14.73 s. The 2.77 s gap represents roughly 109 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 27.19 s, with a 5.43 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.65 kg/hp vs 7.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.24 seconds. The 2.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A110 GT 300 wins (3,92 s vs 6,21 s).
