Off the line, the 911 Carrera (PDK) hits 100 km/h in 4.52 s versus 9.36 s for the 218i Active Tourer. At this point, the 911 Carrera (PDK) leads by 4.85 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera (PDK) is doing 151 km/h against 110 km/h for the 218i Active Tourer. The gap is 2.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera (PDK) crosses the line in 12.54 s versus 16.89 s. The 4.35 s gap represents roughly 154 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera (PDK) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 209 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera (PDK) finishes in 22.57 s versus 30.73 s, with a 8.15 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera (PDK) is capped at 287 km/h, the 218i Active Tourer at 205 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 (4.16 kg/hp vs 10.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.28 seconds. The 4.85 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.
