Off the line, the 308 GTi 270 hits 100 km/h in 6.06 s versus 10.59 s for the Civic. At this point, the 308 GTi 270 leads by 4.53 s and sits roughly 35 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 308 GTi 270 is doing 140 km/h against 109 km/h for the Civic. The gap is 2.62 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 17.88 s. The 3.90 s gap represents roughly 137 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 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 308 GTi 270 finishes in 24.71 s versus 32.04 s, with a 7.33 s lead.
Electronically capped at 185 km/h, the Civic 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 9.46 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.94 seconds. The 4.53 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 10,59 s).
308 GTi 270 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,06 seconds (calibrated simulation).
