Off the line, the 911 Targa 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.53 s versus 8.68 s for the Bmw 218d Gran Coupe. At this point, the 911 Targa 4S leads by 4.15 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4S is doing 150 km/h against 112 km/h for the Bmw 218d Gran Coupe. The gap is 2.39 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Targa 4S crosses the line in 12.49 s versus 16.40 s. The 3.91 s gap represents roughly 141 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 213 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4S finishes in 22.38 s versus 29.93 s, with a 7.55 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Targa 4S is capped at 295 km/h, the Bmw 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 (3.83 kg/hp vs 9.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.34 seconds. The 4.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
