Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 5.12 s for the Bmw 840i. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 1.20 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 140 km/h for the Bmw 840i. The gap is 0.91 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 13.33 s. The 1.37 s gap represents roughly 65 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 24.04 s, with a 2.28 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw 840i 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 (5.20 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.71 seconds. The 1.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
