Off the line, the 911 GT3 hits 100 km/h in 4.08 s versus 9.02 s for the Bmw 218i Gran Coupe. At this point, the 911 GT3 leads by 4.94 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 is doing 158 km/h against 110 km/h for the Bmw 218i Gran Coupe. The gap is 2.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 crosses the line in 11.85 s versus 16.62 s. The 4.76 s gap represents roughly 167 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 225 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 finishes in 21.23 s versus 30.43 s, with a 9.19 s lead.
Electronically capped at 215 km/h, the Bmw 218i 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 (3.16 kg/hp vs 9.93 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.07 seconds. The 4.94 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
