Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 8.38 s versus 9.71 s for the Bmw 116. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 1.33 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 114 km/h against 106 km/h for the Bmw 116. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 16.10 s versus 16.88 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 28 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 159 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 29.31 s versus 31.31 s, with a 1.99 s lead.
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw 116 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 (9.57 kg/hp vs 11.39 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.84 seconds. The 1.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
