Off the line, the Portofino hits 100 km/h in 3.55 s versus 4.78 s for the Panamera 4S. At this point, the Portofino leads by 1.23 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Portofino is doing 177 km/h against 142 km/h for the Panamera 4S. The gap is 1.18 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Portofino crosses the line in 10.92 s versus 12.98 s. The 2.06 s gap represents roughly 98 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Portofino continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 249 km/h versus 198 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Portofino finishes in 19.36 s versus 23.57 s, with a 4.22 s lead.
Electronically capped at 283 km/h, the Panamera 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (2.58 kg/hp vs 4.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.26 seconds. The 1.23 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Portofino wins (3,55 s vs 4,78 s).
Portofino goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,55 seconds (calibrated simulation).
