Off the line, the F8 Tributo hits 100 km/h in 2.92 s versus 10.39 s for the 216d Gran Coupe. At this point, the F8 Tributo leads by 7.47 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F8 Tributo is doing 193 km/h against 107 km/h for the 216d Gran Coupe. The gap is 4.96 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F8 Tributo crosses the line in 9.98 s versus 17.61 s. The 7.63 s gap represents roughly 247 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F8 Tributo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 267 km/h versus 148 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F8 Tributo finishes in 17.85 s versus 31.80 s, with a 13.95 s lead.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the 216d Gran Coupe 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 (1.99 kg/hp vs 12.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.97 seconds. The 7.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F8 Tributo wins (2,92 s vs 10,39 s).
F8 Tributo goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,92 seconds (calibrated simulation).
