Off the line, the 620d Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 8.08 s versus 9.13 s for the 318d. At this point, the 620d Gran Turismo leads by 1.05 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 620d Gran Turismo is doing 114 km/h against 109 km/h for the 318d. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 620d Gran Turismo crosses the line in 15.92 s versus 16.56 s. The 0.64 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 620d Gran Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 158 km/h versus 151 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 620d Gran Turismo finishes in 29.25 s versus 30.51 s, with a 1.26 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (220 vs 209 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 620d Gran Turismo is capped at 220 km/h, the 318d at 210 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 (9.29 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.33 seconds. The 1.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
