The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive hits 100 km/h in 3.39 s versus 5.16 s for the 745e. At this point, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive leads by 1.78 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive is doing 163 km/h against 139 km/h for the 745e. The gap is 1.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive crosses the line in 11.34 s versus 13.37 s. The 2.02 s gap represents roughly 94 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 227 km/h versus 196 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive finishes in 20.57 s versus 24.07 s, with a 3.50 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 745e’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Executive is capped at 310 km/h, the 745e at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.40 kg/hp vs 5.08 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.80 seconds. The 1.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
