Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 3.46 s for the RS6 Performance Avant. At this point, the 812 Superfast leads by 0.53 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 812 Superfast is doing 182 km/h against 165 km/h for the RS6 Performance Avant. The gap is 0.60 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 Superfast crosses the line in 10.37 s versus 11.30 s. The 0.93 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 812 Superfast continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 249 km/h versus 231 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 Superfast finishes in 18.81 s versus 20.37 s, with a 1.55 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (346 km/h), the RS6 Performance Avant never recovers its launch deficit.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (1.91 kg/hp vs 3.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.02 seconds. The 0.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
