Off the line, the 488 GTB hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.43 s for the Roma. At this point, the 488 GTB leads by 0.40 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 182 km/h for the Roma. The gap is 0.38 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 10.68 s. The 0.48 s gap represents roughly 30 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 256 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 18.88 s, with a 0.61 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (357 km/h), the Roma never recovers its launch deficit.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.20 kg/hp vs 2.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.54 seconds. The 0.40 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
