Off the line, the TT 45 TFSI hits 100 km/h in 5.81 s versus 5.86 s for the Bmw 230i Convertible. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 230i Convertible is doing 129 km/h against 133 km/h for the TT 45 TFSI. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the TT 45 TFSI crosses the line in 14.06 s versus 14.21 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the TT 45 TFSI continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 184 km/h versus 178 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the TT 45 TFSI finishes in 25.49 s versus 26.01 s, with a 0.52 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 251 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 230i Convertible 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 (6.25 kg/hp vs 5.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.32 seconds. The 0.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
