Off the line, the 911 Turbo hits 100 km/h in 3.04 s versus 3.78 s for the 911 R. At this point, the 911 Turbo leads by 0.74 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Turbo is doing 171 km/h against 166 km/h for the 911 R. The gap is 0.54 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Turbo crosses the line in 10.79 s versus 11.38 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Turbo continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 238 km/h versus 239 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Turbo finishes in 19.64 s versus 20.19 s, with a 0.55 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (315 vs 325 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The 911 Turbo features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 911 R’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 319 km/h, the 911 Turbo 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 (2.92 kg/hp vs 2.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.33 seconds. The 0.74 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Turbo 991.2 wins (3,04 s vs 3,78 s).
