Off the line, the Cayman Manual hits 100 km/h in 5.40 s versus 5.65 s for the Cayman (Manual). At this point, the Cayman Manual leads by 0.25 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayman Manual is doing 136 km/h against 135 km/h for the Cayman (Manual). The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman Manual crosses the line in 13.55 s versus 13.79 s. The 0.24 s gap represents roughly 11 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 193 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayman Manual finishes in 24.44 s versus 24.69 s, with a 0.25 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (267 vs 267 km/h), preventing any comeback.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.94 kg/hp vs 4.94 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.61 seconds. The 0.25 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayman Manual wins (5,40 s vs 5,65 s).
Cayman Manual goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,40 seconds (calibrated simulation).
