Off the line, the 320d hits 100 km/h in 6.83 s versus 11.62 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the 320d leads by 4.79 s and sits roughly 37 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 320d is doing 120 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 2.22 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 320d crosses the line in 14.95 s versus 18.15 s. The 3.20 s gap represents roughly 106 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 320d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 320d finishes in 27.60 s versus 33.18 s, with a 5.58 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 320d is capped at 240 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 (8.11 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 4.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 320d G20 wins (6,83 s vs 11,62 s).
320d G20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,83 seconds (calibrated simulation).
