Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive vs 2020 911 Carrera S: chronicle of a drag race at 307 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 2020 911 Carrera S hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 3.56 s for the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive. The 0.10 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S is doing 163 km/h against 162 km/h for the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2020 911 Carrera S crosses the line in 11.38 s versus 11.43 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 226 km/h versus 226 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera S finishes in 20.70 s versus 20.75 s, with a 0.06 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive is capped at 250 km/h, the 2020 911 Carrera S at 307 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 (3.35 kg/hp vs 3.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.15 seconds. The 0.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 2020 911 Carrera S is slightly faster than the Bmw M4 Competition with M xDrive to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
