Off the line, the M440i xDrive hits 100 km/h in 4.47 s versus 4.56 s for the A110 Pure 252. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the M440i xDrive is doing 146 km/h against 151 km/h for the A110 Pure 252. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 Pure 252 crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 12.66 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A110 Pure 252 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 Pure 252 finishes in 22.69 s versus 22.96 s, with a 0.28 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the M440i xDrive 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 (4.65 kg/hp vs 4.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.77 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M440i xDrive F32 and A110 Pure 252 are neck and neck (4,47 s vs 4,55 s, no significant gap).
M440i xDrive F32 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,47 seconds (calibrated simulation).
M440i xDrive F32: 374 hp, ratio 4,65 kg/hp. A110 Pure 252: 256 hp, ratio 4,31 kg/hp.
M440i xDrive F32: 250 km/h. A110 Pure 252: 277 km/h.
