Off the line, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet hits 100 km/h in 4.43 s versus 4.52 s for the 911 Carrera Cab. The 0.09 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet is doing 153 km/h against 148 km/h for the 911 Carrera Cab. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet crosses the line in 12.42 s versus 12.62 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet finishes in 22.28 s versus 22.72 s, with a 0.45 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (286 vs 289 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the 911 Carrera Cabriolet and the 911 Carrera Cab are governed to 291 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.00 kg/hp vs 4.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.73 seconds. The 0.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
