Off the line, the 630i Gran Turismo hits 100 km/h in 6.27 s versus 7.79 s for the A4 40 TDI. At this point, the 630i Gran Turismo leads by 1.52 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo is doing 127 km/h against 122 km/h for the A4 40 TDI. The gap is 1.10 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 630i Gran Turismo crosses the line in 14.49 s versus 15.77 s. The 1.28 s gap represents roughly 53 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 630i Gran Turismo finishes in 26.40 s versus 28.08 s, with a 1.68 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 242 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 630i 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 (6.67 kg/hp vs 8.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.76 seconds. The 1.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
