Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 3.03 s for the 488 GTB. At this point, the 812 Superfast leads by 0.10 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 182 km/h for the 812 Superfast. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 10.37 s. The 0.18 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 488 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 261 km/h versus 249 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 18.81 s, with a 0.54 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (327 vs 339 km/h), preventing any comeback.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (1.91 kg/hp vs 2.20 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.00 seconds. The 0.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 812 Superfast wins (2,93 s vs 3,03 s).
