Porsche 911 Carrera 991.2 vs Alpine A110 GT 300: which is truly faster?

Off the line, the A110 GT 300 hits 100 km/h in 3.92 s versus 4.25 s for the 911 Carrera. At this point, the A110 GT 300 leads by 0.33 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.

At 200 metres, the A110 GT 300 is doing 157 km/h against 156 km/h for the 911 Carrera. The gap is 0.22 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 GT 300 crosses the line in 11.96 s versus 12.20 s. The 0.24 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track - two to three car lengths.

Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The A110 GT 300 maxes out at 272 km/h while the 911 Carrera keeps accelerating towards 289 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.23 s.

At 1,000 metres, the A110 GT 300 finishes in 21.76 s versus 21.92 s, with just 0.16 s to spare. The 911 Carrera fails to fully close the launch gap.

Electronically capped at 295 km/h, the 911 Carrera 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 (3.81 kg/hp vs 3.65 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.12 seconds. The 0.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
