Among the 42 S, the 911 R ranks (mid-table) in acceleration. Caralogy simulates its real-world performance: motorway simulation, performance simulation and consumption simulation.

Caralogy Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 8th of 42 in Top speed (322 km/h), 8th of 42 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t). 8th of 42 in Top speed (322 km/h), 8th of 42 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 14,7 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Nissan GT-R 570 R35 (1st with 2.7 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (1st with 350 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.8 s 0-100 (21th of 42 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the 911 R ranks 21th of 42 in 0–100 km/h, 1.1 s off the reference Nissan GT-R 570 R35 (2.7 s).

Top speed: 322 km/h (8th of 42 in Top speed)

Top speed of 322 km/h. The segment reference reaches 350 km/h.

Frequently asked questions

Porsche 911 R: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 42 S 2014–2018, the 911 R ranks 21th of 42 in 0–100 km/h (3.8 s, behind the Nissan GT-R 570 R35), 8th of 42 in Top speed (322 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ), 8th of 42 in Power-to-weight (365 hp/t, behind the Ferrari 812 Superfast).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Nissan GT-R 570 R35 leads in 0–100 km/h (2.7 s vs 3.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 911 R vs Nissan GT-R 570 R35 duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
