Off the line, the Panamera GTS hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.05 s for the Bmw 750Li xDrive. At this point, the Panamera GTS leads by 0.12 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive is doing 162 km/h against 151 km/h for the Panamera GTS. The gap is 0.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 750Li xDrive crosses the line in 11.80 s versus 12.12 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 210 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 750Li xDrive finishes in 21.02 s versus 22.14 s, with a 1.12 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (289 km/h), the Panamera GTS never recovers its launch deficit.
On paper, the Bmw 750Li xDrive combines 530 hp, 750 Nm and 2,020 kg — a clear theoretical edge over the Panamera GTS. Yet the Panamera GTS launches quicker. At standstill, both motors deliver peak torque from 0 rpm: the decisive factor is no longer raw power, but available grip. If the Panamera GTS has a better traction coefficient (tyres, weight distribution, traction control calibration), it puts down more force despite inferior specs — exactly what the simulation reflects, calibrated on manufacturer 0-100 km/h times.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 750Li xDrive is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Panamera GTS at 291 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 (3.81 kg/hp vs 4.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.06 seconds. The 0.12 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.
