The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 911 Carrera T hits 100 km/h in 4.47 s versus 4.66 s for the 911 Carrera. At this point, the 911 Carrera T leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera T is doing 153 km/h against 151 km/h for the 911 Carrera. The gap is 0.09 s. The gap remains stable from the start.

At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera T crosses the line in 12.47 s versus 12.55 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera T continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 216 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera T finishes in 22.25 s versus 22.38 s, with a 0.13 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (288 vs 293 km/h), preventing any comeback.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera is capped at 288 km/h, the 911 Carrera T at 293 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 (3.89 kg/hp vs 4.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.74 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
