Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 5.49 s for the 840i Gran Coupe. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 1.58 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 135 km/h for the 840i Gran Coupe. The gap is 1.14 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 13.72 s. The 1.76 s gap represents roughly 80 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 189 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 24.81 s, with a 3.05 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 840i Gran Coupe 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 (5.45 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 8.39 seconds. The 1.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A110 GT 300 wins (3,92 s vs 5,49 s).
840i Gran Coupe G15 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,49 seconds (calibrated simulation).
