Off the line, the Bmw M4 Competition hits 100 km/h in 3.83 s versus 3.92 s for the A110 GT 300. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition is doing 158 km/h against 157 km/h for the A110 GT 300. The gap is 0.13 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Competition crosses the line in 11.78 s versus 11.96 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 220 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition finishes in 21.33 s versus 21.76 s, with a 0.43 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (272 km/h), the A110 GT 300 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M4 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 (3.38 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 5.79 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
