GT3 (3600 cc) / 9ff Cayman (4060 cc)
0-100 km/h 4,3 s 4,9 s
0-130 km/h 6,2 s 7,3 s
0-160 km/h 9,0 s 9,6 s
0-200 km/h 14,1 s 14,2 s
0-402,34 m 12,20 s 12,94 s

 

I can't read German, but does it say anything about lap time comparisons? What a shame to only compare acceleration times only?? They were obviously at a track when they did this; why not some timed laps as well?

 

No lap times, not in their procedure asfarasiknow.

 

That's cool...I like to see the cars near each other!
Great comparison but the GT3 just flies away...but what about future 9ff progresses??

 

I've been wondering when this story was going to turn up in the states. I think its getting bought and translated.

Anyhow, the 9ff car that day did have some trouble hooking up as the 0-60 times indicate. However, as we all know theres WAY more to going fast than stoplight racing.

The 9ff big torque advantage 435 vs 405NM shows up in the all important in-gear roll ons.

Elasticity GT3/ CR42
60-100 km/h in 4. gear 5.1 s 4.4 s
80-120 km/h in 5. gear 6.6 s 5.3 s
80-120 km/h in 6. gear 7.9 s 5.9 s
And the lap times were compared...

Gt3 - 144.13
Cr42- 143.59

All in all a great test. Too bad we dont see more stuff like this over here in the states.

The article even goes to mention that the CR42 eclipsed even the mighty MB CLK DTM AMG's time!

What a great time to be an enthusiast!
