Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.
| Measure | S3 Sedan | 718 Cayman | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h21 | 7h21 | Less than a minute apart |
| Charging stops | 4 stops | 4 stops | Same |
| Cost of energy used | 494.43 € | 470.89 € | 23.54 € · 718 Cayman |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 4 stops totalling 20 min for the S3 Sedan versus 4 stops totalling 20 min for the 718 Cayman.
The official WLTP figures (8,4 L/100km for S3 Sedan and 9,8 L/100km for 718 Cayman) are measured on a mixed cycle averaging ~46 km/h. At a steady 130 km/h, aerodynamic drag weighs much more heavily - it grows with the square of speed. Caralogy calculates a motorway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve - not a uniform correction factor. For this trip, the simulation yields 29,4 L/100km (S3 Sedan) and 28,0 L/100km (718 Cayman). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the S3 Sedan arrives in 7h21 with 4 fuel stops.
WLTP consumption does not reflect motorway reality. Aerodynamic drag grows with the square of speed, so real consumption is 15 to 25 % higher than WLTP combined. Caralogy calculates a highway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve.
Total time = driving time + charging time. Driving time is calculated at an average speed of 130 km/h on the motorway (adjustable). Charging time is calculated based on the real power curve of each vehicle, respecting the optimal 10 → 80 % range and the maximum power accepted by the chargers on the route.
No. The displayed cost covers only the energy consumed during the trip: kWh × energy rate, with a mix of home charging and DC fast chargers. Battery wear is a long-term ownership cost, not a trip cost.
On this trip, the energy used costs 494.43 € (S3 Sedan) and 470.89 € (718 Cayman). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6.8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in fuel.
