Both belong to the sports car class, so their dimensions, performance and utility figures address a broadly similar type of car. Both use petrol powertrains, allowing a relatively direct comparison of the recorded energy figures.

Performance, power and 0-100 km/h

Both cars record the same 0-100 km/h time of 4.0 seconds. Their listed outputs are also identical at 400 hp. The torque figures follow 2025 Nissan Z Performance at 475 Nm and 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 at 420 Nm. These figures describe straight-line potential only; they do not establish braking performance, ride quality, steering response or durability under repeated hard use.

Range, battery, charging and efficiency

2025 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 has the lower recorded consumption at 9.9 L/100km; 2025 Nissan Z Performance is listed at 10.2 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.

Dimensions, cargo space and towing

2025 Nissan Z Performance provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 235 litres versus 150 litres, a difference of 85 litres. The two cars share the same recorded overall length of 4,379 mm. Exterior size is not a benefit by itself: a longer body may create useful room, but cargo shape, rear-seat space and ease of parking still require a physical inspection.

The assessment is based on the specifications shown here; it is not presented as a two-car road test.
