Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 4.56 s for the 718 Cayman. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 166 km/h against 149 km/h for the 718 Cayman. The gap is 0.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS crosses the line in 11.41 s versus 12.65 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS finishes in 20.49 s versus 22.89 s, with a 2.39 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS is capped at 311 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 (3.02 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 6.70 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera GTS 991.2 wins (3,65 s vs 4,56 s).
911 Carrera GTS 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,65 seconds (calibrated simulation).
