Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 2.95 s for the 296 GTS. Despite lacking instant torque, 799 hp of power compensates. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 812 Superfast is doing 182 km/h against 181 km/h for the 296 GTS. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 812 Superfast crosses the line in 10.37 s versus 10.39 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.03 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.
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 4.10 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 812 Superfast and 296 GTS are neck and neck (2,93 s vs 2,95 s, no significant gap).
