Off the line, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible hits 100 km/h in 3.32 s versus 3.93 s for the A110 S 292. At this point, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible leads by 0.61 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible is doing 168 km/h against 154 km/h for the A110 S 292. The gap is 0.58 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible crosses the line in 11.14 s versus 12.08 s. The 0.94 s gap represents roughly 49 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 234 km/h versus 210 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M8 Competition Convertible finishes in 20.23 s versus 22.15 s, with a 1.93 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M8 Competition 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 (3.24 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 5.94 seconds. The 0.61 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, M8 Competition Convertible F92 wins (3,32 s vs 3,93 s).
