Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 10.41 s for the 216i Active Tourer. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 6.50 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 105 km/h for the 216i Active Tourer. The gap is 3.54 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 17.50 s. The 5.54 s gap represents roughly 184 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 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 31.91 s, with a 10.16 s lead.
Electronically capped at 206 km/h, the 216i Active Tourer 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 12.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.46 seconds. The 6.50 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 10,41 s).
A110 GT 300 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,92 seconds (calibrated simulation).
