Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 10.38 s for the 116d. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 6.47 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 107 km/h for the 116d. The gap is 3.75 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 17.61 s. The 5.65 s gap represents roughly 190 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 148 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 31.81 s, with a 10.06 s lead.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the 116d never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.65 kg/hp vs 11.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.96 seconds. The 6.47 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 10,38 s).
A110 GT 300 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,92 seconds (calibrated simulation).
