The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 5.65 s for the Cayman (Manual). At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 1.74 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 135 km/h for the Cayman (Manual). The gap is 1.24 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 13.79 s. The 1.82 s gap represents roughly 83 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the A110 GT 300 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 193 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 24.69 s, with a 2.93 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (272 vs 267 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.65 kg/hp vs 4.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 1.74 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
