Off the line, the 225d hits 100 km/h in 6.40 s versus 11.36 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 225d leads by 4.96 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 225d is doing 130 km/h against 102 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 2.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 225d crosses the line in 14.61 s versus 18.06 s. The 3.45 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 225d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 141 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 225d finishes in 26.28 s versus 32.93 s, with a 6.65 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 225d is capped at 243 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 (6.58 kg/hp vs 12.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.19 seconds. The 4.96 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 225d F22 wins (6,40 s vs 11,36 s).
225d F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,40 seconds (calibrated simulation).
