The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.63 s for the 750Ld xDrive. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 0.71 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 145 km/h for the 750Ld xDrive. The gap is 0.54 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 12.84 s. The 0.87 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 23.18 s, with a 1.42 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 750Ld xDrive 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 (4.95 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.01 seconds. The 0.71 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
