Off the line, the Giulia Veloce hits 100 km/h in 5.26 s versus 7.18 s for the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8. At this point, the Giulia Veloce leads by 1.92 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Giulia Veloce is doing 135 km/h against 124 km/h for the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8. The gap is 1.28 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Giulia Veloce crosses the line in 13.56 s versus 15.28 s. The 1.72 s gap represents roughly 71 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Giulia Veloce continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 186 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Giulia Veloce finishes in 24.89 s versus 27.49 s, with a 2.60 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (240 vs 240 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 240 km/h, the Giulia Veloce 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 (5.68 kg/hp vs 6.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.07 seconds. The 1.92 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
