Off the line, the 308 GTi 270 hits 100 km/h in 6.06 s versus 7.04 s for the 420d. Despite the faster sprint time, the 420d is 3 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the 308 GTi 270 is doing 140 km/h against 119 km/h for the 420d. The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 308 GTi 270 crosses the line in 13.98 s versus 15.10 s. The 1.12 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 308 GTi 270 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 308 GTi 270 finishes in 24.71 s versus 27.77 s, with a 3.06 s lead.
Electronically capped at 240 km/h, the 420d 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 (4.63 kg/hp vs 8.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.60 seconds. The 0.98 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 308 GTi 270 wins (6,06 s vs 7,04 s).
308 GTi 270 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,06 seconds (calibrated simulation).
