Off the line, the Cayman (PDK) hits 100 km/h in 5.58 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Cayman (PDK) is doing 137 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman (PDK) crosses the line in 13.65 s versus 13.69 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The F-TYPE P300 maxes out at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h while the Cayman (PDK) keeps accelerating towards 261 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.03 s.
Around 508 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the F-TYPE P300 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 11 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE P300 finishes in 24.35 s versus 24.50 s. The 0.15 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the F-TYPE P300 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 (5.32 kg/hp vs 5.06 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.22 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
