Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 7.44 s versus 8.12 s for the e-208 156 Phase 2. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 0.68 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 120 km/h against 119 km/h for the e-208 156 Phase 2. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 16.14 s. The 0.53 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the A3 allstreet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 168 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 28.13 s versus 30.57 s, with a 2.44 s lead.
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the e-208 156 Phase 2 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.89 kg/hp vs 9.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.76 seconds. The 0.68 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A3 allstreet wins (7,44 s vs 8,12 s).
A3 allstreet goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,44 seconds (calibrated simulation).
