The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Cooper C FWD hits 100 km/h in 7.70 s versus 8.63 s for the A1 allstreet 35 TFSI S tronic 110 kW. At this point, the Cooper C FWD leads by 0.93 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Cooper C FWD is doing 122 km/h against 117 km/h for the A1 allstreet 35 TFSI S tronic 110 kW. The gap is 0.59 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Cooper C FWD crosses the line in 15.67 s versus 16.49 s. The 0.82 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Cooper C FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cooper C FWD finishes in 28.06 s versus 29.53 s, with a 1.46 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.47 kg/hp vs 8.10 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.29 seconds. The 0.93 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
