Off the line, the 812 GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.15 s versus 4.17 s for the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe. At this point, the 812 GTS leads by 1.02 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 812 GTS is doing 178 km/h against 154 km/h for the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe. The gap is 0.99 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 GTS crosses the line in 10.66 s versus 12.15 s. The 1.49 s gap represents roughly 77 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 812 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 245 km/h versus 216 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 GTS finishes in 19.24 s versus 21.87 s, with a 2.63 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Bmw M4 Competition 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 (2.04 kg/hp vs 3.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.02 seconds. The 1.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 812 GTS wins (3,15 s vs 4,17 s).
812 GTS goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,15 seconds (calibrated simulation).
