Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 8.65 s for the Bmw 118d. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 4.74 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 113 km/h for the Bmw 118d. The gap is 2.88 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 16.41 s. The 4.44 s gap represents roughly 161 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 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 29.82 s, with a 8.07 s lead.
Electronically capped at 218 km/h, the Bmw 118d 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 9.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.03 seconds. The 4.74 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
