Off the line, the 296 GTS hits 100 km/h in 2.95 s versus 3.15 s for the 812 GTS. The instant torque of 740 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 296 GTS leads by 0.20 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 296 GTS is doing 181 km/h against 178 km/h for the 812 GTS. The gap is 0.18 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 296 GTS crosses the line in 10.39 s versus 10.66 s. The 0.27 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 296 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 251 km/h versus 245 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 296 GTS finishes in 18.79 s versus 19.24 s, with a 0.46 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (327 vs 330 (i.e. 205 mph - industry threshold) km/h), preventing any comeback.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.30 seconds. The 0.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 296 GTS wins (2,95 s vs 3,15 s).
812 GTS goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,15 seconds (calibrated simulation).
