The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge hits 100 km/h in 4.57 s versus 5.64 s for the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG. At this point, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge leads by 1.06 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge is doing 141 km/h against 136 km/h for the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG. The gap is 0.85 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge crosses the line in 12.84 s versus 13.81 s. The 0.98 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The V60 T8 AWD Recharge maxes out at 180 km/h while the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG keeps accelerating towards 291 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.93 s.

Around 962 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 111 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG finishes in 24.70 s versus 24.84 s. The 0.14 s delta shows an extremely tight race.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the V60 T8 AWD Recharge 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 (5.15 kg/hp vs 6.15 kg/hp) and transmission (auto vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.46 seconds. The 1.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
