Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 9.99 s versus 10.38 s for the 116d. At this point, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 is doing 108 km/h against 107 km/h for the 116d. The gap is 0.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 crosses the line in 17.33 s versus 17.61 s. The 0.29 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 148 km/h versus 148 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 finishes in 31.57 s versus 31.81 s, with a 0.24 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (200 vs 194 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the 116d 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 (11.85 kg/hp vs 10.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.96 seconds. The 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 wins (9,99 s vs 10,38 s).
116d F40 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,38 seconds (calibrated simulation).
