2020 911 Carrera 4S vs Bmw M340i xDrive Touring: chronicle of a drag race at 306 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S hits 100 km/h in 3.36 s versus 4.58 s for the Bmw M340i xDrive Touring. At this point, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S leads by 1.22 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S is doing 162 km/h against 145 km/h for the Bmw M340i xDrive Touring. The gap is 0.96 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S crosses the line in 11.33 s versus 12.74 s. The 1.41 s gap represents roughly 68 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 224 km/h versus 203 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 2020 911 Carrera 4S finishes in 20.73 s versus 23.11 s, with a 2.38 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 2020 911 Carrera 4S is capped at 306 km/h, the Bmw M340i xDrive Touring at 250 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 (3.52 kg/hp vs 4.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.92 seconds. The 1.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Porsche 2020 911 Carrera 4S has a clear edge over the Bmw M340i xDrive Touring to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
