Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 4.17 s for the 718 Cayman S. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 0.90 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 156 km/h for the 718 Cayman S. The gap is 0.77 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 GT3 RS crosses the line in 11.02 s versus 12.12 s. The 1.10 s gap represents roughly 58 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 235 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 21.89 s, with a 1.95 s lead.
Electronically capped at 285 km/h, the 718 Cayman S 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 (2.80 kg/hp vs 3.87 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.01 seconds. The 0.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 GT3 RS 991.2 wins (3,26 s vs 4,17 s).
911 GT3 RS 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,26 seconds (calibrated simulation).
