718 Cayman GTS PDK vs DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300: chronicle of a drag race at 290 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK hits 100 km/h in 3.98 s versus 5.98 s for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. At this point, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK leads by 2.00 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK is doing 159 km/h against 127 km/h for the DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300. The gap is 1.33 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK crosses the line in 11.88 s versus 14.27 s. The 2.39 s gap represents roughly 99 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK finishes in 21.39 s versus 26.41 s, with a 5.01 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 290 km/h, the 718 Cayman GTS PDK 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 (3.85 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 2.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 718 Cayman GTS PDK has a clear edge over the DS DS7 E-Tense 4x4 300 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
