Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 6.12 s for the Bmw i5 eDrive40. Despite lacking instant torque, 305 hp of power compensates. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 2.21 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 135 km/h for the Bmw i5 eDrive40. The gap is 1.65 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 14.29 s. The 2.33 s gap represents roughly 103 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 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 25.87 s, with a 4.11 s lead.
Electronically capped at 193 km/h, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.92 seconds. The 2.21 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 6,12 s).
