Alpine A110 GT 300 vs Porsche Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S): which is truly faster?

Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 7.55 s for the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S). At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 3.64 s and sits roughly 20 m ahead.

At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 119 km/h for the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S). The gap is 2.28 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 15.50 s. The 3.54 s gap represents roughly 137 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 166 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 28.16 s, with a 6.41 s lead.

Electronically capped at 230 km/h, the Cayenne (8-speed Tiptronic S) 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 (3.65 kg/hp vs 6.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.88 seconds. The 3.64 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
