Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) hits 100 km/h in 4.53 s versus 4.56 s for the 718 Cayman. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) is doing 147 km/h against 149 km/h for the 718 Cayman. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 718 Cayman crosses the line in 12.65 s versus 12.66 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the 718 Cayman continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 206 km/h versus 204 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 718 Cayman finishes in 22.89 s versus 22.96 s, with a 0.08 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (280 vs 274 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) is capped at 282 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 (4.29 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 6.79 seconds. The 0.03 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.
