Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.43 s for the Bmw M2 Competition. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 0.49 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 157 km/h for the Bmw M2 Competition. The gap is 0.32 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 12.30 s. The 0.21 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Bmw M2 Competition maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the A110 S 292 keeps accelerating towards 264 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.11 s.
Around 761 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Bmw M2 Competition overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 14 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M2 Competition finishes in 21.96 s versus 22.15 s. The 0.19 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M2 Competition 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 (3.77 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.20 seconds. The 0.49 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
