Off the line, the A290 GT 160kW hits 100 km/h in 6.36 s versus 7.23 s for the Born. At this point, the A290 GT 160kW leads by 0.88 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A290 GT 160kW is doing 129 km/h against 122 km/h for the Born. The gap is 0.46 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A290 GT 160kW crosses the line in 14.65 s versus 15.39 s. The 0.74 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A290 GT 160kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A290 GT 160kW finishes in 26.75 s versus 28.98 s, with a 2.23 s lead.
Electronically capped at 160 km/h, the Born 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.78 kg/hp vs 8.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.41 seconds. The 0.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
