Off the line, the 320d hits 100 km/h in 7.03 s versus 8.32 s for the V 300 d 4MATIC (long). At this point, the 320d leads by 1.29 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 320d is doing 123 km/h against 114 km/h for the V 300 d 4MATIC (long). The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 320d crosses the line in 15.13 s versus 16.03 s. The 0.90 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 320d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 156 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 320d finishes in 27.23 s versus 29.55 s, with a 2.32 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the V 300 d 4MATIC (long) is capped at 217 km/h, the 320d at 240 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.44 kg/hp vs 7.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.08 seconds. The 1.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 320d G20 wins (7,03 s vs 8,32 s).
V 300 d 4MATIC (long) goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,32 seconds (calibrated simulation).
