Off the line, the 216d Active Tourer hits 100 km/h in 11.24 s versus 11.62 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. Despite the faster sprint time, the 216d Gran Tourer is 7 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 216d Gran Tourer is doing 101 km/h against 104 km/h for the 216d Active Tourer. The gap is 0.23 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 216d Gran Tourer crosses the line in 18.15 s versus 18.18 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 192 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed - the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 192 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the 216d Active Tourer finishes in 32.71 s versus 33.18 s. The 0.46 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 216d Active Tourer is capped at 195 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 (12.24 kg/hp vs 12.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.76 seconds. The 0.38 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.
