Off the line, the M2 hits 100 km/h in 4.12 s versus 6.20 s for the GR86. At this point, the M2 leads by 2.09 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the M2 is doing 155 km/h against 132 km/h for the GR86. The gap is 1.56 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the M2 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 14.35 s. The 2.27 s gap represents roughly 100 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the M2 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 179 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the M2 finishes in 21.80 s versus 26.10 s, with a 4.30 s lead.
Electronically capped at 285 km/h, the M2 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 (3.76 kg/hp vs 5.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.21 seconds. The 2.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
