Off the line, the 718 Cayman hits 100 km/h in 4.56 s versus 5.63 s for the F-TYPE P300. At this point, the 718 Cayman leads by 1.07 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 718 Cayman is doing 149 km/h against 140 km/h for the F-TYPE P300. The gap is 0.80 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Cayman crosses the line in 12.65 s versus 13.69 s. The 1.04 s gap represents roughly 50 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 718 Cayman continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Cayman finishes in 22.89 s versus 24.35 s, with a 1.46 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE P300 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the 718 Cayman at 274 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 (5.32 kg/hp vs 4.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 1.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
