Bmw M4 Competition Coupe vs 911 Targa 4 GTS: chronicle of a drag race at 302 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe hits 100 km/h in 3.94 s versus 4.27 s for the 911 Targa 4 GTS. At this point, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe leads by 0.33 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe is doing 163 km/h against 155 km/h for the 911 Targa 4 GTS. The gap is 0.27 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe crosses the line in 11.70 s versus 12.12 s. The 0.43 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 221 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe finishes in 20.93 s versus 21.61 s, with a 0.68 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (302 km/h), the 911 Targa 4 GTS never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M4 Competition Coupe is capped at 250 km/h, the 911 Targa 4 GTS at 302 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 (3.38 kg/hp vs 3.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.03 seconds. The 0.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw M4 Competition Coupe is slightly faster than the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
