Off the line, the 911 Carrera S hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 4.48 s for the 2013 Panamera GTS. At this point, the 911 Carrera S leads by 0.54 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 911 Carrera S is doing 162 km/h against 147 km/h for the 2013 Panamera GTS. The gap is 0.50 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the 911 Carrera S crosses the line in 11.77 s versus 12.69 s. The 0.92 s gap represents roughly 45 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 911 Carrera S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 225 km/h versus 205 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 911 Carrera S finishes in 21.09 s versus 22.94 s, with a 1.85 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 2013 Panamera GTS is capped at 288 km/h, the 911 Carrera S at 307 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.49 kg/hp vs 3.38 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.84 seconds. The 0.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Sur 0–100 km/h, 911 Carrera S 991.2 gagne (3,93 s vs 4,47 s).
