Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 3.83 s for the S8. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 157 km/h for the S8. The gap is 0.12 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 11.81 s. The 0.29 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 222 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 21.26 s, with a 0.56 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the S8 at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.03 kg/hp vs 3.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.62 seconds. The 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
