718 Cayman S vs Ranger Raptor V6 292: chronicle of a drag race at 285 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 718 Cayman S hits 100 km/h in 4.17 s versus 5.95 s for the Ranger Raptor V6 292. At this point, the 718 Cayman S leads by 1.79 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 718 Cayman S is doing 156 km/h against 127 km/h for the Ranger Raptor V6 292. The gap is 1.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Cayman S crosses the line in 12.12 s versus 14.27 s. The 2.15 s gap represents roughly 90 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 718 Cayman S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 215 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Cayman S finishes in 21.89 s versus 26.65 s, with a 4.76 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 718 Cayman S is capped at 285 km/h, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 at 180 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.87 kg/hp vs 7.77 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.64 seconds. The 1.79 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 718 Cayman S has a clear edge over the Ford Ranger Raptor V6 292 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
