Cayman S (PDK) vs Mustang Mach-E RWD: chronicle of a drag race at 283 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Cayman S (PDK) hits 100 km/h in 4.83 s versus 6.04 s for the Mustang Mach-E RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 320 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Cayman S (PDK) leads by 1.21 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Cayman S (PDK) is doing 149 km/h against 129 km/h for the Mustang Mach-E RWD. The gap is 0.88 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman S (PDK) crosses the line in 12.79 s versus 14.39 s. The 1.60 s gap represents roughly 68 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Cayman S (PDK) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayman S (PDK) finishes in 22.86 s versus 26.73 s, with a 3.87 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Mustang Mach-E RWD 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 9.51 seconds. The 1.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Cayman S (PDK) has a clear edge over the Ford Mustang Mach-E RWD to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
