Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.69 s for the M4 Convertible. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 0.76 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 151 km/h for the M4 Convertible. The gap is 0.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 12.64 s. The 0.56 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The M4 Convertible maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the A110 S 292 keeps accelerating towards 264 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.55 s.
At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 22.51 s, with just 0.36 s to spare. The M4 Convertible fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the M4 Convertible 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 (4.15 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.66 seconds. The 0.76 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A110 S 292 wins (3,93 s vs 4,69 s).
M4 Convertible F82 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,69 seconds (calibrated simulation).
