Off the line, the 296 GTB hits 100 km/h in 2.94 s versus 4.44 s for the 911 Carrera 4S. The instant torque of 740 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the 296 GTB leads by 1.51 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 296 GTB is doing 184 km/h against 153 km/h for the 911 Carrera 4S. The gap is 1.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 296 GTB crosses the line in 10.30 s versus 12.33 s. The 2.02 s gap represents roughly 104 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 296 GTB continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 255 km/h versus 217 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 296 GTB finishes in 18.57 s versus 22.01 s, with a 3.45 s lead.
Electronically capped at 298 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4S never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
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 6.45 seconds. The 1.51 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 296 GTB wins (2,94 s vs 4,44 s).
