Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 3.83 s for the S8. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 0.57 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 157 km/h for the S8. The gap is 0.52 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 11.02 s versus 11.81 s. The 0.79 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 235 km/h versus 222 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 21.26 s, with a 1.32 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the S8 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 (3.89 kg/hp vs 2.80 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 0.57 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
