Ferrari SF90 Stradale vs Porsche 911 Turbo 991.1: which is truly faster?

Off the line, the SF90 Stradale hits 100 km/h in 2.54 s versus 3.35 s for the 911 Turbo. The instant torque of 800 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the SF90 Stradale leads by 0.81 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.

At 200 metres, the SF90 Stradale is doing 193 km/h against 168 km/h for the 911 Turbo. The gap is 0.89 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the SF90 Stradale crosses the line in 9.75 s versus 11.13 s. The 1.38 s gap represents roughly 77 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Past 400 metres, the SF90 Stradale continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 268 km/h versus 232 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SF90 Stradale finishes in 17.54 s versus 20.22 s, with a 2.68 s lead.

Electronically capped at 312 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.

Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 4.83 seconds. The 0.81 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
