508 PureTech 180 EAT8 vs Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG: chronicle of a drag race at 238 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 8.32 s versus 8.41 s for the Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG is doing 115 km/h against 119 km/h for the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG crosses the line in 16.17 s versus 16.20 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG maxes out at 227 km/h while the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 keeps accelerating towards 238 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
Around 437 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 11 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 finishes in 28.78 s versus 29.24 s. The 0.46 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.32 kg/hp vs 8.97 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.27 seconds. The 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 and Skoda Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 7DSG are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
