The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 812 Superfast hits 100 km/h in 2.93 s versus 3.43 s for the Roma. At this point, the 812 Superfast leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 812 Superfast is doing 182 km/h against 182 km/h for the Roma. The gap is 0.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the 812 Superfast crosses the line in 10.37 s versus 10.68 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 19 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The 812 Superfast maxes out at 327 km/h while the Roma keeps accelerating towards 357 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.25 s.

At 1,000 metres, the 812 Superfast finishes in 18.81 s versus 18.88 s, with just 0.07 s to spare. The Roma fails to fully close the launch gap.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (1.91 kg/hp vs 2.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.54 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
