Off the line, the Cayenne S Coupe hits 100 km/h in 4.61 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. Despite lacking instant torque, 420 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Cayenne S Coupe leads by 0.76 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe is doing 144 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.59 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cayenne S Coupe crosses the line in 12.80 s versus 13.60 s. The 0.80 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cayenne S Coupe finishes in 23.34 s versus 24.60 s, with a 1.25 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Cayenne S Coupe is capped at 262 km/h, the F-PACE P400e at 220 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 8.18 seconds. The 0.76 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
