Off the line, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet hits 100 km/h in 3.70 s versus 7.75 s for the Bmw 420d Convertible. At this point, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet leads by 4.06 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is doing 164 km/h against 116 km/h for the Bmw 420d Convertible. The gap is 2.47 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 15.64 s. The 4.12 s gap represents roughly 153 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet finishes in 20.74 s versus 28.69 s, with a 7.95 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet is capped at 309 km/h, the Bmw 420d Convertible at 236 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 (3.17 kg/hp vs 9.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.82 seconds. The 4.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
