Off the line, the Cayman (Manual) hits 100 km/h in 5.65 s versus 11.62 s for the 216d Gran Tourer. At this point, the Cayman (Manual) leads by 5.97 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayman (Manual) is doing 135 km/h against 101 km/h for the 216d Gran Tourer. The gap is 2.70 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman (Manual) crosses the line in 13.79 s versus 18.15 s. The 4.36 s gap represents roughly 143 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayman (Manual) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayman (Manual) finishes in 24.69 s versus 33.18 s, with a 8.48 s lead.
Electronically capped at 192 km/h, the 216d Gran Tourer 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 (4.94 kg/hp vs 12.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.76 seconds. The 5.97 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
