The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 Pure 252 hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 5.52 s for the A290 GTS 192kW. Despite lacking instant torque, 256 hp of power compensates. At this point, the A110 Pure 252 leads by 0.96 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 Pure 252 is doing 151 km/h against 138 km/h for the A290 GTS 192kW. The gap is 0.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 Pure 252 crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 13.81 s. The 1.19 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the A110 Pure 252 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 185 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 Pure 252 finishes in 22.69 s versus 25.18 s, with a 2.49 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.16 seconds. The 0.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
