Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.85 s versus 4.43 s for the 911 Carrera Cabriolet. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 0.57 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 164 km/h against 153 km/h for the 911 Carrera Cabriolet. The gap is 0.55 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 11.57 s versus 12.42 s. The 0.85 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 RS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 232 km/h versus 214 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 20.63 s versus 22.28 s, with a 1.64 s lead.
Electronically capped at 291 km/h, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet 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 (2.74 kg/hp vs 4.00 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.39 seconds. The 0.57 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 GT3 RS 991.1 wins (3,85 s vs 4,42 s).
