Off the line, the e-208 156 Phase 2 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 9.77 s for the ë-C4 FWD. At this point, the e-208 156 Phase 2 leads by 1.65 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 is doing 119 km/h against 110 km/h for the ë-C4 FWD. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e-208 156 Phase 2 crosses the line in 16.14 s versus 17.29 s. The 1.14 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The e-208 156 Phase 2 maxes out at 150 km/h while the ë-C4 FWD keeps accelerating towards 204 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 1.37 s from 1.14 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 finishes in 30.57 s versus 31.39 s, with just 0.82 s to spare. The ë-C4 FWD fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the e-208 156 Phase 2 and the ë-C4 FWD are governed to 150 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.33 kg/hp vs 11.25 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.91 seconds. The 1.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
