Off the line, the Roma hits 100 km/h in 3.43 s versus 3.55 s for the Panamera Turbo. The 0.11 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Roma is doing 182 km/h against 163 km/h for the Panamera Turbo. The gap is 0.34 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Roma crosses the line in 10.68 s versus 11.45 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Roma continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 256 km/h versus 228 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Roma finishes in 18.88 s versus 20.66 s, with a 1.79 s lead.
Electronically capped at 308 km/h, the Panamera Turbo 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 (2.37 kg/hp vs 3.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.19 seconds. The 0.11 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
