Off the line, the Panamera hits 100 km/h in 5.83 s versus 6.00 s for the Seal 313 2WD. Despite lacking instant torque, 304 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Panamera leads by 0.17 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Panamera is doing 130 km/h against 135 km/h for the Seal 313 2WD. The gap is 0.20 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Panamera crosses the line in 14.15 s versus 14.21 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Panamera continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Panamera finishes in 25.76 s versus 26.31 s, with a 0.55 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Seal 313 2WD is capped at 180 km/h, the Panamera at 257 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.21 seconds. The 0.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Panamera 970.1 wins (5,83 s vs 6,00 s).
