Off the line, the Aventador LP700 hits 100 km/h in 2.88 s versus 2.94 s for the 296 GTB. Despite lacking instant torque, 700 hp of power compensates. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Aventador LP700 is doing 183 km/h against 184 km/h for the 296 GTB. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Aventador LP700 crosses the line in 10.29 s versus 10.30 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Aventador LP700 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 254 km/h versus 255 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Aventador LP700 finishes in 18.54 s versus 18.57 s, with a 0.03 s lead.
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 4.03 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Aventador LP700 and 296 GTB are neck and neck (2,88 s vs 2,94 s, no significant gap).
Aventador LP700 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,88 seconds (calibrated simulation).
