Bmw M4 vs Macan Turbo: chronicle of a drag race at 254 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M4 hits 100 km/h in 4.19 s versus 4.76 s for the Macan Turbo. At this point, the Bmw M4 leads by 0.56 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 is doing 155 km/h against 142 km/h for the Macan Turbo. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 crosses the line in 12.23 s versus 12.99 s. The 0.76 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 219 km/h versus 195 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 finishes in 21.86 s versus 23.72 s, with a 1.86 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 vs 254 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M4 is capped at 250 km/h, the Macan Turbo at 264 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 (3.54 kg/hp vs 4.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.18 seconds. The 0.56 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M4 has a clear edge over the Porsche Macan Turbo to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
