Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 9.12 s for the Bmw 218d Convertible. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 5.20 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 109 km/h for the Bmw 218d Convertible. The gap is 2.92 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 16.65 s. The 4.68 s gap represents roughly 164 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 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 30.48 s, with a 8.72 s lead.
Electronically capped at 208 km/h, the Bmw 218d Convertible 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 10.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.20 seconds. The 5.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
