The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 812 GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.15 s versus 3.78 s for the 911 R. At this point, the 812 GTS leads by 0.63 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 812 GTS is doing 178 km/h against 166 km/h for the 911 R. The gap is 0.55 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 812 GTS crosses the line in 10.66 s versus 11.38 s. The 0.72 s gap represents roughly 42 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 812 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 245 km/h versus 239 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 812 GTS finishes in 19.24 s versus 20.19 s, with a 0.95 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (327 vs 325 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.04 kg/hp vs 2.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.33 seconds. The 0.63 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
