The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the GR Supra 2.0 hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 7.44 s for the 420i. At this point, the GR Supra 2.0 leads by 2.16 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 is doing 137 km/h against 117 km/h for the 420i. The gap is 1.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the GR Supra 2.0 crosses the line in 13.52 s versus 15.38 s. The 1.86 s gap represents roughly 73 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 191 km/h versus 163 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the GR Supra 2.0 finishes in 24.51 s versus 28.23 s, with a 3.71 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 240 km/h, the 420i 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 (5.79 kg/hp vs 8.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.15 seconds. The 2.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
