The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Atto 3 Extended Range hits 100 km/h in 7.41 s versus 9.04 s for the e-208 136 Phase 2. At this point, the Atto 3 Extended Range leads by 1.63 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range is doing 121 km/h against 113 km/h for the e-208 136 Phase 2. The gap is 0.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Atto 3 Extended Range crosses the line in 15.57 s versus 16.78 s. The 1.22 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range finishes in 29.19 s versus 31.36 s, with a 2.17 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Atto 3 Extended Range is capped at 160 km/h, the e-208 136 Phase 2 at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.58 kg/hp vs 10.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.78 seconds. The 1.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
