The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 296 GTS hits 100 km/h in 2.95 s versus 3.85 s for the 911 GT3 RS. The instant torque of 740 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 296 GTS leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 296 GTS is doing 181 km/h against 164 km/h for the 911 GT3 RS. The gap is 0.82 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 296 GTS crosses the line in 10.39 s versus 11.57 s. The 1.18 s gap represents roughly 66 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 296 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 251 km/h versus 232 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 296 GTS finishes in 18.79 s versus 20.63 s, with a 1.85 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.52 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
