The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 488 GTB hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.22 s for the 911 Turbo. At this point, the 488 GTB leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 488 GTB is doing 188 km/h against 170 km/h for the 911 Turbo. The gap is 0.40 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.

At 400 metres standing start, the 488 GTB crosses the line in 10.20 s versus 10.97 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 488 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 261 km/h versus 235 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 488 GTB finishes in 18.27 s versus 19.89 s, with a 1.63 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 314 km/h, the 911 Turbo 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 (2.20 kg/hp vs 3.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.66 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
