The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.56 s for the A110 Pure 252. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 0.62 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 151 km/h for the A110 Pure 252. The gap is 0.47 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 12.61 s. The 0.53 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the A110 S 292 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 209 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 22.69 s, with a 0.53 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (264 vs 277 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.76 kg/hp vs 4.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.59 seconds. The 0.62 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
