Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 3.32 s for the M8 Competition Convertible. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 0.28 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 171 km/h against 168 km/h for the M8 Competition Convertible. The gap is 0.26 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 10.79 s versus 11.14 s. The 0.36 s gap represents roughly 20 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 234 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 19.64 s versus 20.23 s, with a 0.58 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the M8 Competition Convertible is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 911 Turbo at 319 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 (3.24 kg/hp vs 2.92 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 0.28 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.
