Off the line, the 911 GT3 RS hits 100 km/h in 3.26 s versus 5.52 s for the Cayman. At this point, the 911 GT3 RS leads by 2.26 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 GT3 RS is doing 169 km/h against 136 km/h for the Cayman. The gap is 1.72 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 13.64 s. The 2.62 s gap represents roughly 118 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 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 GT3 RS finishes in 19.95 s versus 24.68 s, with a 4.74 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.80 kg/hp vs 4.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.30 seconds. The 2.26 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 5,52 s).
