Off the line, the 911 Carrera S Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.34 s versus 5.65 s for the Cayman (Manual). At this point, the 911 Carrera S Cab leads by 1.31 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab is doing 152 km/h against 135 km/h for the Cayman (Manual). The gap is 0.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S Cab crosses the line in 12.34 s versus 13.79 s. The 1.45 s gap represents roughly 67 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 193 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab finishes in 22.11 s versus 24.69 s, with a 2.58 s lead.
Electronically capped at 302 km/h, the 911 Carrera S Cab 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 (3.87 kg/hp vs 4.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 1.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera S Cab 991.1 wins (4,34 s vs 5,65 s).
911 Carrera S Cab 991.1 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,34 seconds (calibrated simulation).
