Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 3.03 s for the 488 GTB. At this point, the 911 Turbo S leads by 0.50 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo S is doing 185 km/h against 188 km/h for the 488 GTB. The gap is 0.27 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo S crosses the line in 10.00 s versus 10.20 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The 911 Turbo S maxes out at 322 (i.e. 200 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the 488 GTB keeps accelerating towards 339 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo S finishes in 18.17 s versus 18.27 s, with just 0.10 s to spare. The 488 GTB fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 322 (i.e. 200 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the 911 Turbo S 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 (2.43 kg/hp vs 2.20 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 3.98 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo S 992 wins (2,53 s vs 3,03 s).
911 Turbo S 992 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,53 seconds (calibrated simulation).
