Off the line, the F8 Spider hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.78 s for the 911 R. At this point, the F8 Spider leads by 0.75 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F8 Spider is doing 190 km/h against 166 km/h for the 911 R. The gap is 0.81 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the F8 Spider crosses the line in 10.15 s versus 11.38 s. The 1.23 s gap represents roughly 71 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F8 Spider continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 263 km/h versus 239 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F8 Spider finishes in 18.12 s versus 20.19 s, with a 2.08 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.12 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 0.75 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, F8 Spider wins (3,03 s vs 3,78 s).
F8 Spider goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,03 seconds (calibrated simulation).
