Off the line, the 116d hits 100 km/h in 10.38 s versus 11.64 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 116d leads by 1.26 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 116d is doing 107 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 0.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 116d crosses the line in 17.62 s versus 18.19 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 116d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 148 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 116d finishes in 31.80 s versus 33.18 s, with a 1.39 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 116d is capped at 200 km/h, the 216d Gran Tourer at 192 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (11.85 kg/hp vs 12.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.69 seconds. The 1.26 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 116d F40 wins (10,38 s vs 11,64 s).
116d F40 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,38 seconds (calibrated simulation).
