Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.43 s for the Bmw M2 Competition. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 0.51 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 157 km/h for the Bmw M2 Competition. The gap is 0.35 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 12.30 s. The 0.33 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Bmw M2 Competition maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the A110 GT 300 keeps accelerating towards 272 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.31 s.
At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 21.96 s, with just 0.21 s to spare. The Bmw M2 Competition fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M2 Competition 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 (3.77 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.20 seconds. The 0.51 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
