508 PureTech 225 EAT8 vs Bmw 620d Gran Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 240 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 7.18 s versus 7.81 s for the Bmw 620d Gran Turismo. Despite the faster sprint time, the Bmw 620d Gran Turismo is 8 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 620d Gran Turismo is doing 114 km/h against 124 km/h for the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8. The gap is 0.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 crosses the line in 15.28 s versus 15.64 s. The 0.37 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 finishes in 27.49 s versus 28.91 s, with a 1.42 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 220 km/h, the Bmw 620d Gran Turismo 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 (6.88 kg/hp vs 9.66 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.09 seconds. The 0.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 has a clear edge over the Bmw 620d Gran Turismo to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
