Porsche 911 Carrera S Cab 991.1 vs Kia EV6 AWD Long Range : which one is faster?

The launch: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 911 Carrera S Cab hits 100 km/h in 4.34 s versus 5.16 s for the EV6 AWD Long Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 390 hp of power compensates. At this point, the 911 Carrera S Cab leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab is doing 152 km/h against 135 km/h for the EV6 AWD Long Range. The gap is 0.64 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S Cab crosses the line in 12.34 s versus 13.61 s. The 1.27 s gap represents roughly 57 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 214 km/h versus 183 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S Cab finishes in 22.11 s versus 25.54 s, with a 3.43 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 911 Carrera S Cab is capped at 302 km/h, the EV6 AWD Long Range at 185 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 8.14 seconds. The 0.82 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
