Off the line, the 911 Targa 4 GTS hits 100 km/h in 4.27 s versus 8.68 s for the 218d Gran Coupe. At this point, the 911 Targa 4 GTS leads by 4.42 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS is doing 155 km/h against 112 km/h for the 218d Gran Coupe. The gap is 2.61 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Targa 4 GTS crosses the line in 12.12 s versus 16.40 s. The 4.27 s gap represents roughly 154 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 221 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4 GTS finishes in 21.61 s versus 29.93 s, with a 8.32 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Targa 4 GTS is capped at 302 km/h, the 218d Gran Coupe at 222 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 (3.59 kg/hp vs 9.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.34 seconds. The 4.42 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 911 Targa 4 GTS 991.2 wins (4,26 s vs 8,68 s).
