Off the line, the Roma hits 100 km/h in 3.43 s versus 4.12 s for the M2. At this point, the Roma leads by 0.69 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Roma is doing 182 km/h against 155 km/h for the M2. The gap is 0.78 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Roma crosses the line in 10.68 s versus 12.08 s. The 1.40 s gap represents roughly 73 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Roma continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 256 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Roma finishes in 18.88 s versus 21.80 s, with a 2.92 s lead.
Electronically capped at 285 km/h, the M2 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.37 kg/hp vs 3.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.94 seconds. The 0.69 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Roma wins (3,43 s vs 4,12 s).
Roma goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,43 seconds (calibrated simulation).
