Off the line, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé hits 100 km/h in 4.94 s versus 5.28 s for the Panamera. At this point, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé leads by 0.33 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé is doing 144 km/h against 136 km/h for the Panamera. The gap is 0.27 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé crosses the line in 13.05 s versus 13.57 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 202 km/h versus 190 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé finishes in 23.48 s versus 24.66 s, with a 1.18 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) vs 264 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw M440i Gran Coupé is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph — industry threshold) km/h, the Panamera 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 (4.72 kg/hp vs 5.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.22 seconds. The 0.33 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.
