Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.65 s versus 3.78 s for the 911 R. The 0.13 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS is doing 166 km/h against 166 km/h for the 911 R. The gap is 0.03 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 R crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 11.41 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 911 R continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 239 km/h versus 230 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 R finishes in 20.19 s versus 20.49 s, with a 0.30 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (325 vs 311 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 311 km/h, the 911 Carrera 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 (2.74 kg/hp vs 3.02 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.33 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera GTS 991.2 wins (3,65 s vs 3,78 s).
911 R 991.2 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,78 seconds (calibrated simulation).
