Off the line, the A110 Pure 252 hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 4.56 s for the 718 Cayman. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 718 Cayman is doing 149 km/h against 151 km/h for the A110 Pure 252. The gap is 0.02 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A110 Pure 252 crosses the line in 12.61 s versus 12.65 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A110 Pure 252 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 Pure 252 finishes in 22.69 s versus 22.89 s, with a 0.20 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (274 vs 277 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 274 km/h, the 718 Cayman 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 (4.45 kg/hp vs 4.31 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.70 seconds. The 0.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
