Off the line, the 116 hits 100 km/h in 9.71 s versus 9.78 s for the 308 PureTech 130 EAT8. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 116 is doing 106 km/h against 111 km/h for the 308 PureTech 130 EAT8. The gap is 0.73 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 116 crosses the line in 16.88 s versus 17.29 s. The 0.41 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The 116 maxes out at 206 km/h while the 308 PureTech 130 EAT8 keeps accelerating towards 217 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.11 s.
Around 673 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 308 PureTech 130 EAT8 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 11 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 308 PureTech 130 EAT8 finishes in 30.85 s versus 31.31 s. The 0.45 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the 116 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 (10.15 kg/hp vs 11.39 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.84 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
