I-PACE EV400 vs 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus): chronicle of a drag race at 280 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) hits 100 km/h in 4.53 s versus 4.84 s for the I-PACE EV400. Despite lacking instant torque, 350 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) leads by 0.30 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) is doing 147 km/h against 141 km/h for the I-PACE EV400. The gap is 0.29 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) crosses the line in 12.66 s versus 13.18 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 204 km/h versus 192 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) finishes in 22.96 s versus 24.36 s, with a 1.39 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the I-PACE EV400 is capped at 200 km/h, the 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) at 282 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 7.37 seconds. The 0.30 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (PDK w/Sport Chrono Package Plus) is slightly faster than the Jaguar I-PACE EV400 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
