Off the line, the 488 GTB hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 10.13 s for the 216d Gran Coupe. At this point, the 488 GTB leads by 7.10 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 105 km/h for the 216d Gran Coupe. The gap is 4.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 17.26 s. The 7.06 s gap represents roughly 228 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 488 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 261 km/h versus 145 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 31.73 s, with a 13.47 s lead.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the 216d Gran Coupe 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 (2.20 kg/hp vs 12.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.28 seconds. The 7.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 488 GTB wins (3,03 s vs 10,13 s).
488 GTB goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
