Off the line, the 208 GTi 30th 208 hits 100 km/h in 6.55 s versus 6.80 s for the Cooper S FWD. At this point, the 208 GTi 30th 208 leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 208 GTi 30th 208 is doing 133 km/h against 131 km/h for the Cooper S FWD. The gap is 0.29 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 GTi 30th 208 crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 14.86 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 208 GTi 30th 208 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 183 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 GTi 30th 208 finishes in 26.10 s versus 26.40 s, with a 0.30 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (235 vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.59 kg/hp vs 5.78 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.88 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
