Off the line, the 320e hits 100 km/h in 7.46 s versus 11.54 s for the 216i Gran Tourer. The instant torque of 350 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 320e leads by 4.08 s and sits roughly 36 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 320e is doing 115 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216i Gran Tourer. The gap is 1.90 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 320e crosses the line in 15.43 s versus 18.11 s. The 2.67 s gap represents roughly 89 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 320e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 158 km/h versus 139 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 320e finishes in 28.77 s versus 33.26 s, with a 4.49 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 320e is capped at 220 km/h, the 216i Gran Tourer at 188 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 20.02 seconds. The 4.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 320e G20 wins (7,46 s vs 11,54 s).
320e G20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
