Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 9.90 s for the A3 Sportback. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 5.97 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 108 km/h for the A3 Sportback. The gap is 3.38 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 17.23 s. The 5.14 s gap represents roughly 176 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 S 292 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 31.33 s, with a 9.18 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.76 kg/hp vs 11.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.37 seconds. The 5.97 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A110 S 292 wins (3,93 s vs 9,90 s).
