Off the line, the 911 Targa 4S hits 100 km/h in 4.05 s versus 4.12 s for the M2. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 911 Targa 4S is doing 158 km/h against 155 km/h for the M2. The gap is 0.04 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Targa 4S crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 12.08 s. The 0.09 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Targa 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 215 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Targa 4S finishes in 21.58 s versus 21.80 s, with a 0.22 s lead.
The 911 Targa 4S features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the M2’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 M2 is capped at 285 km/h, the 911 Targa 4S at 303 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 (3.76 kg/hp vs 3.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.94 seconds. The 0.07 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.
