Cayman PDK vs 508 PureTech 225 EAT8: chronicle of a drag race at 262 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Cayman PDK hits 100 km/h in 5.28 s versus 7.18 s for the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8. At this point, the Cayman PDK leads by 1.90 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Cayman PDK is doing 140 km/h against 124 km/h for the 508 PureTech 225 EAT8. The gap is 1.27 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayman PDK crosses the line in 13.38 s versus 15.28 s. The 1.90 s gap represents roughly 79 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Cayman PDK continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 196 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayman PDK finishes in 24.10 s versus 27.49 s, with a 3.40 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.06 kg/hp vs 6.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.07 seconds. The 1.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Cayman PDK has a clear edge over the Peugeot 508 PureTech 225 EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
