Off the line, the 216d hits 100 km/h in 11.23 s versus 11.26 s for the 216d. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 216d is doing 103 km/h against 105 km/h for the 216d. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 216d crosses the line in 18.08 s versus 18.21 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.10 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 216d and the 216d are governed to 195 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (12.24 kg/hp vs 12.28 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.65 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
Over 0–100 km/h, 216d F22 and 216d F44 are neck and neck (11,23 s vs 11,26 s, no significant gap).
216d F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 11,23 seconds (calibrated simulation).
