F8 Spider vs Panamera Turbo S: chronicle of a drag race at 351 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the F8 Spider hits 100 km/h in 3.03 s versus 3.85 s for the Panamera Turbo S. At this point, the F8 Spider leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the F8 Spider is doing 190 km/h against 151 km/h for the Panamera Turbo S. The gap is 1.02 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the F8 Spider crosses the line in 10.15 s versus 12.05 s. The 1.91 s gap represents roughly 95 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the F8 Spider continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 263 km/h versus 208 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F8 Spider finishes in 18.12 s versus 22.19 s, with a 4.07 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 306 km/h, the Panamera Turbo S 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (1.94 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.
Ferrari F8 Spider has a clear edge over the Porsche Panamera Turbo S to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
