Off the line, the Cayman (Manual) hits 100 km/h in 5.65 s versus 6.22 s for the Cayenne S Hybrid. The 0.57 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Cayman (Manual) is doing 135 km/h against 127 km/h for the Cayenne S Hybrid. The gap is 0.20 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman (Manual) crosses the line in 13.79 s versus 14.37 s. The 0.58 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Cayman (Manual) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayman (Manual) finishes in 24.69 s versus 26.38 s, with a 1.69 s lead.
The Cayenne S Hybrid features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Cayman (Manual)’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 242 km/h, the Cayenne S Hybrid 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 (5.89 kg/hp vs 4.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.71 seconds. The 0.57 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
