Off the line, the 911 GT3 hits 100 km/h in 4.08 s versus 4.47 s for the 718 Cayman GTS. At this point, the 911 GT3 leads by 0.39 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 is doing 158 km/h against 155 km/h for the 718 Cayman GTS. The gap is 0.36 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 crosses the line in 11.85 s versus 12.32 s. The 0.46 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 225 km/h versus 217 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 finishes in 21.23 s versus 21.96 s, with a 0.73 s lead.
Electronically capped at 290 km/h, the 718 Cayman GTS 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 (3.16 kg/hp vs 3.77 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.41 seconds. The 0.39 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
