Off the line, the Urus SE hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 4.36 s for the Cayenne Turbo S. The instant torque of 900 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Urus SE leads by 0.90 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Urus SE is doing 166 km/h against 152 km/h for the Cayenne Turbo S. The gap is 0.79 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Urus SE crosses the line in 11.30 s versus 12.42 s. The 1.12 s gap represents roughly 58 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Urus SE continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 229 km/h versus 211 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Urus SE finishes in 20.49 s versus 22.41 s, with a 1.92 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Urus SE is capped at 312 km/h, the Cayenne Turbo S 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 6.36 seconds. The 0.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
