Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 3.32 s for the M8 Competition Convertible. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 168 km/h for the M8 Competition Convertible. The gap is 0.08 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 11.14 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 235 km/h versus 234 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 20.23 s, with a 0.28 s lead.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the M8 Competition Convertible 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 (3.24 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 4.73 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
