Off the line, the Aventador S hits 100 km/h in 2.88 s versus 9.02 s for the 218i Gran Coupe. At this point, the Aventador S leads by 6.14 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Aventador S is doing 182 km/h against 110 km/h for the 218i Gran Coupe. The gap is 4.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Aventador S crosses the line in 10.30 s versus 16.62 s. The 6.31 s gap represents roughly 215 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Aventador S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 253 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Aventador S finishes in 18.59 s versus 30.43 s, with a 11.83 s lead.
Electronically capped at 215 km/h, the 218i Gran Coupe 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 (2.13 kg/hp vs 9.93 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.07 seconds. The 6.14 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Aventador S wins (2,88 s vs 9,02 s).
