Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 7.16 s for the Cayenne V6. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 3.90 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 122 km/h for the Cayenne V6. The gap is 2.58 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 15.12 s. The 4.10 s gap represents roughly 159 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 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 27.65 s, with a 7.71 s lead.
Electronically capped at 230 km/h, the Cayenne V6 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 6.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.40 seconds. The 3.90 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 7,16 s).
