Panamera S vs Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo: chronicle of a drag race at 277 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Panamera S hits 100 km/h in 5.16 s versus 5.22 s for the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Panamera S is doing 140 km/h against 136 km/h for the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo. The gap is 0.01 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera S crosses the line in 13.31 s versus 13.52 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Panamera S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 189 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera S finishes in 23.98 s versus 24.61 s, with a 0.63 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera S is capped at 283 km/h, the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo at 250 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 (4.43 kg/hp vs 5.91 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.14 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche Panamera S is slightly faster than the Bmw 640d xDrive Gran Turismo to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
