Ferrari F8 Spider vs Porsche 911 Turbo S 992: which is truly faster?

Off the line, the 911 Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 2.53 s versus 3.03 s for the F8 Spider. 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 190 km/h for the F8 Spider. The gap is 0.25 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 10.15 s. The 0.14 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.

Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The 911 Turbo S maxes out at 322 (i.e. 200 mph — industry threshold) km/h while the F8 Spider keeps accelerating towards 351 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.06 s.

Around 801 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the F8 Spider overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 29 km/h higher top speed.

At 1,000 metres, the F8 Spider finishes in 18.12 s versus 18.17 s. The 0.05 s delta shows an extremely tight race.

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 (2.12 kg/hp vs 2.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 3.96 seconds. The 0.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
