Off the line, the Bmw M5 CS hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.85 s for the Panamera Turbo S. At this point, the Bmw M5 CS leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw M5 CS is doing 170 km/h against 151 km/h for the Panamera Turbo S. The gap is 0.78 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw M5 CS crosses the line in 10.81 s versus 12.05 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw M5 CS continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw M5 CS finishes in 19.94 s versus 22.19 s, with a 2.25 s lead.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Bmw M5 CS and the Panamera Turbo S are governed to 305 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.87 kg/hp vs 3.17 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.95 seconds. The 0.82 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
