Off the line, the 911 GT3 hits 100 km/h in 3.25 s versus 4.56 s for the 718 Cayman. At this point, the 911 GT3 leads by 1.31 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 is doing 175 km/h against 149 km/h for the 718 Cayman. The gap is 1.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 crosses the line in 10.80 s versus 12.65 s. The 1.85 s gap represents roughly 91 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 GT3 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 244 km/h versus 206 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 finishes in 19.42 s versus 22.89 s, with a 3.47 s lead.
Electronically capped at 274 km/h, the 718 Cayman 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 (2.81 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 1.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 GT3 992 wins (3,25 s vs 4,56 s).
911 GT3 992 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,25 seconds (calibrated simulation).
