Off the line, the Cayenne Turbo S hits 100 km/h in 3.96 s versus 7.07 s for the Q7 SUV. At this point, the Cayenne Turbo S leads by 3.11 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S is doing 152 km/h against 117 km/h for the Q7 SUV. The gap is 1.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne Turbo S crosses the line in 12.11 s versus 15.11 s. The 3.00 s gap represents roughly 115 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 211 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne Turbo S finishes in 22.13 s versus 28.09 s, with a 5.95 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne Turbo S is capped at 283 km/h, the Q7 SUV at 226 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.92 kg/hp vs 9.09 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.95 seconds. The 3.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Cayenne Turbo S 958.2 wins (3,96 s vs 7,07 s).
